چکیده
The current study evaluated the Phytochemicals Nutritional and Anti-nutritional Compositions of Fresh, Sprouted Toasted Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) Seed extracts. phytochemicals, proximate, amino acids, microminerals antinutrients compositions were determined following standard laboratory procedures in autoanalizer machines. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by LSD Duncan test for levels significance. Results revealed presence Tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Cardiac glycosides, Terpenoids three samples but anthroquinones was absent sprouted toasted watermelon seeds. Saponins (2.15 ± 0.07 mg/100 g), Tannins (40.63 0.13 g) Cyanogenic glycosides (3.55 0.35 g). There no significant (P > 0.05) difference concentrations phytochemicals all except cyanogenic which significantly < higher fresh sample. Percentage protein (24.87 0.48) sample, ash (%) (2.63 0.11) lower sprouted, fibre (20.64 0.23) moisture (2.88 0.19) carbohydrates (9.81 1.27) sprouted. obtained Amino acids mineral analyses showed Phytates (0.31 0.01%) sample while oxalates (0.85 fresh, seeds may possess nutritional health benefit virtue their richness phytochmicals, however safety is not guaranteed due to its high concentration anti-nutrients.

Origin and emergence of the sweet dessert watermelon, Citrullus lanatus.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Watermelons, Citrullus species (Cucurbitaceae), are native to Africa and have been cultivated since ancient times. The fruit flesh of wild watermelons is watery, but typically hard-textured, pale-coloured and bland or bitter. The familiar sweet dessert watermelons, C. lanatus, featuring non-bitter, tender, well-coloured flesh, have a narrow genetic base, suggesting that they...

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
15 صفحه اولLycopene and Citrulline Contents in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)
Lycopene and citrulline contents of 9 diploids (2X) and their artificially induced autotetraploids (4X) and autotriploids (3X) were determined in mature fruit. Changes in lycopene and citrulline during fruit development was studied using fruit of variety XYXA with three different ploidy levels from 15 to 40 days after pollination (DAP). Polyploids, especially triploids, had higher levels of lyc...
