It provides a tool for Cucumis species determination and characterization and for a discrimination of an infraspecific variation. Obtained data can be used for description of genetic resources and also for research purposes.

  • Nutritional Composition and Oil Characteristics of Golden Melon (Cucumis Melo ) Seeds
    Food Science and Quality Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6088 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0557 (Online) Vol.27, 2014 Nutritional Composition and Oil Characteristics of Golden Melon (Cucumis melo ) Seeds Oluwatoyin H. Raji * Oluwaseun T. Orelaja Department of Food Technology, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Abeokuta, P.O.box 2210 Abeokuta, Ogun state * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This study investigated the mineral and proximate composition of Golden/canary melon ( Cucumis melo ) seeds and the physiochemical properties of the seed oil. Proximate composition and physicochemical properties of oil were performed according to AOAC procedures. Minerals were determined using the method of Novozamsky et al. (1983). Results show that the seeds contained high percentage of crude fibre (33.94%) and low percentage of carbohydrate (3.14%). The seeds also contain high value of iron (136.5ppm), zinc (48.35ppm), manganese (25.70ppm), copper (15.40ppm) and low value of calcium (0.023±0.001%). Hexane extracted oil had acid value (2.68mgKOH/g) peroxide value (7.42mgKOH/g), iodine value of (117.43mgKOH/g), saponification value (191.42), free fatty acid (2.34) moisture content (5.68%), and refractive index (1.62) respectively. The seeds serve as good sources of crude fiber, fat and protein. Results also showed that the golden/canary melon oil is non rancid. Keywords: Physicochemical, Golden melon, Hexane extracted oil 1. Introduction Cucurbitaceae (Cucurbit) is an important family comprising one of the most genetically diverse groups of food plants. Most of the plants belonging to this family are frost sensitive and drought-tolerant (Whitaker and Bohn, 1950).

Traditionally, there were two primary orange flesh melon types grown and sold; western types, which are fruits that range in size from about 3 to 5 pounds which are heavily netted and not sutured, and eastern types which have some netting, have a shorter shelf life but have a larger fruit size than a western melon, and tend to have a softer flesh with apparent more flavor than a western melon.

    TRANSFORMATION OF ‘GALIA’ MELON TO IMPROVE FRUIT QUALITY By HECTOR GORDON NUÑEZ-PALENIUS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Hector Gordon Nuñez-Palenius This document is dedicated to the seven reasons in my life, who make me wake up early all mornings, work hard in order to achieve my objectives, dream on new horizons and goals, feel the beaty of the wind, rain and sunset, but mostly because they make me believe in God: my Dads Jose Nuñez Vargas and Salvador Federico Nuñez Palenius, my Moms Janette Ann Palenius Alberi and Consuelo Nuñez Solís, my wife Nélida Contreras Sánchez, my son Hector Manuel Nuñez Contreras and my daughter Consuelo Janette Nuñez Contreras. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been completed without the support and help of many people who are gratefully acknowledged here. My greatest debt is to Dr. Daniel James Cantliffe, who has been a dedicated advisor and mentor, but mostly an excellent friend. He provided constant and efficient guidance to my academic work and research projects. This dissertation goal would not be possible without his insightful, invariable and constructive criticism. I thank Dr. Daniel J. Cantliffe for his exceptional course on Advanced Vegetable Production Techniques (HOS-5565) and the economic support for living expenses during my graduate education in UF. I extend my appreciation to my supervisory committee, Dr. Donald J. Huber, Dr. Harry J. Klee, and Dr. Donald Hopkins, for their academic guidance.

  • Cucumis Sativus and Cucumis Melo and Their Dissemination Into Europe and Beyond
    Untangling the origin of Cucumis sativus and Cucumis melo and their dissemination into Europe and beyond AIMEE LEVINSON WRITER’S COMMENT: In Professor Gepts’ course on the evolution of crop plants I learned about the origins and patterns of domestication of many crops we consume and use today. As this was the only plant biology course I took during my time at UC Davis, I wasn’t sure what to expect. We were assigned to write a term paper on the origin of do- mestication of a crop of our choosing. Upon reading the list of possible topics I noticed a strange pairing, cucumber/melon. I thought that it was just a typing error, but to my surprise cucumbers and melons are closely related and from the same genus. I wanted to untangle the domestication history of the two crops, and I quickly learned that uncovering the origins requires evidence across many different disci- plines. Finding the origin of a crop is challenging; as new evidence from different fields comes forward, the origins of domestication often shift. INSTRUCTOR’S COMMENT: In a predominantly urbanized and devel- oped society like California, agriculture—let alone the origins of agri- culture—is an afterthought. Yet, the introduction of agriculture some 10,000 years ago represents one of the most significant milestones in the evolution of humanity. Since then, humans and crops have de- veloped a symbiotic relationship of mutual dependency for continued survival. In her term paper, Aimee Levinson describes in a lucid and succinct way the domestication and subsequent dissemination of two related crops, cucumber and melon.

  • Screening Cucumis Melo L. Agrestis Germplasm for Resistance to Monosporascus Cannonballus
    Subtropical Plant Science, 53: 24-26.2001 Screening Cucumis melo L. agrestis germplasm for resistance to Monosporascus cannonballus Kevin M. Crosby Texas A&M University, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Weslaco, 78596. ABSTRACT The destruction of melon roots by the fungus Monosporascus cannonballus causes vine decline and crop loss in south Texas and other hot regions. This investigation was carried out to screen germplasm accessions of Cucumis melo L. agrestis, along with commercial melons, for resistance to this pathogen. Field tolerant and susceptible varieties were included as checks. All lines were grown in pasteurized sand, which had been inoculated with a high level (60 CFUs/g of soil) of M. cannonballus mycelium from culture. After three weeks all root systems were carefully cleaned and a root damage rating was taken. Three accessions, 20608, 20747, 20826 all demonstrated high resistance or immunity to the fungus with ratings of 1. This was superior to the best commercial melon lines, ‘Deltex,’ and ‘TXC 2015.’ All other commercial materials were moderately to highly susceptible, with ratings of 3 or more. RESUMEN La destrucción de las raíces de melón por el hongo Monosporascus cannonballus ocasiona el declinamiento de la planta y pérdidas del cultivo en el sur de Texas y otras regiones cálidas. Esta investigación se efectuó para evaluar germoplama de Cucumis melo L. agrestis, así como de cultivares comerciales en lo referente a la resistencia a este patógeno. Se incluyeron variedades tolerantes y susceptibles en campo como testigos. Todas las lineas se cultivaron en arena pasteurizada, la cual había sido inoculada con un alto nivel (60 UFCs/g de suelo) de micelio cultivado de M.

  • Melon Match up Match the Melon Name and Description with Its Picture
    MELON MADNESS! Vine growing fruit, melons are members of the Cucurbitaceous family, with their next closest relatives being squashes and cucumbers.
