PROTEIN AND AMINO ACID DETERMINATION OF WATER MELON SEEDS
Abstract
The oil and protein content of three varieties of water melon seeds namely, Chillian Black, Dixy Queen and Charlston Gray were determined. The soluble proteins were studied and measured by paper chromatography and amino acid analyzer. The results indicated that oil content of the seeds was 43, 53 and 45% and protein content was 27, 23, and 34% respectively. The soluble proteins contained all the amino acid necessary for human nutrition and high concentration of orginine.| Files | ||
