| Abstract: | Oil/Fats- The scientists at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, attempted to extract oil from watermelon seeds with and ,without hulls using hydraulic press. Highest yield of 85.8% of the available oil was obtained when the melon seed was pressed with hulls at a pressure of 30 mPa at temperature of 120°C having 10% moisture content.
Therapeutics- Resveratrol (3 ,4', 5-
trihydroxystilbene) is reported to give
protection against atherosclerosis, inhibits
copper ion-induced and azo compound-initiated
oxidative modification of human LDL and has cancer chemopreventive potential. |
