The aim of this study was to evaluate some chemical properties of Muskmelon and watermelon fruits, peels and seeds for their contents of some
minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids from four locations around Al-Marj town (Al-Gabal Al-Akhder) namely Farzogha, Botraba, Sidi
Arhoma and Al-Ewilia locations in Al-Marj plain. The results revealed that the fruits, peels and seeds from different locations contain Na, K, Fe and
Cu percent higher than Ca, Ni and P contents. For the carbohydrate and protein contents, the obtained results revealed that there is no high
difference between the highest values (12.22 ppm) for fruits from Al-Ewilia location (F4) and the lowest value (2.44 ppm) for seeds of Al-Ewilia
location (S4) for all parts of the samples. For the protein content, all parts of fruits of muskmelon and watermelon exhibited higher values of protein
content.. Read More»
