Wet noodles with the addition of boiled water for bitter melon are made from high protein flour, salt, eggs, and melon. The purpose this study was to determine effect adding different percentages on chemical properties (antioxidant capacity, total flavonoids, content) physical (color elongation). This used a completely randomized design experimental method three treatments, namely fruit by 60%,...

Bitter melons have been proven with anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities. However, due to its short shelf life bitter taste, the consumption of melon is limited in United States. Among many encapsulation technologies, spray drying a cost-effective method for bioactive compounds. Polysaccharides proteins are vastly used as wall materials The juice can provide protection over compounds ...

Eleostearic acid (α-ESA) is a conjugated linolenic acid that makes up ∼60% of Momordica charantia (bitter melon) seed oil. Prior work found that water extract from bitter melon was able to inhibit breast cancer. Here, we investigated effects of α-ESA on both estrogen receptor (ER)–negative MDA-MB-231 (MDA-wt) and ER-positive MDA-ERα7 human breast cancer cells. We found that α-ESA inhibited prol...

This research aims to develop an automatic tubing-grafting robotic system using soft rubber tubes as the grafting material that is suitable for the rootstock and scion of fruit-bearing vegetables having similar stem diameter, such as tomato, bitter melon, sweet pepper, etc. The experimental results indicated that the average grafting success rate is over 93.8% and the system has a working capab...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have a wide range of biological activity. Among them conjugated fatty acids are of great interest. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), which exert a multidirectional health-benefiting influence, and conjugated linolenic acids (CLnA, super CLA) are examples of this group of fatty acids. CLnA are a group of positional and geometric isomers of octadecatrienoic acid ...
