“…These results are well within the range reported for conventional vegetable oils [21]. All the properties of EMSO (except the HHV) generally were in agreement with previous studies [22][23][24].…”

Biodiesel's acceptance as a substitute for fossil-derived diesel has grown the world over. However, the food-fuel debate over conventional vegetable oils has rekindled research interest in exploring lesser known and minor oil crops. In this work, egusi melon seed oil was studied for the first time as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Crude egusi melon seed oil was transesterified using sodium methoxide as the catalyst at 60 °C and an oil/methanol ratio of 1:6 to produce its corresponding methyl esters. Egusi melon oil methyl ester (EMOME) yield was 82%. Gas chromatographic analysis of EMOME showed that it was composed mainly of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic esters, which is similar to the profile of sunflower, soybean and safflower oil. All the measured fuel properties of EMOME satisfied both the ASTM D6751 and the EN 14214 biodiesel standards. Fuel properties of EMOME were essentially identical with those of soybean, safflower and sunflower biodiesel. Remarkably, the kinematic viscosity of EMOME was measured to be 3.83 mm 2 /s, a value lower than most biodiesel fuels reported in the literature. The potential of egusi melon seed oil as a biodiesel feedstock is clearly presented in this study. OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2010, 3 608

“…supercritical extraction. The fatty acid profile of GLO and RMO resembled other Cucurbitaceae species, which were reported in previous studies (Mariod et al 2008;Kamel et al 1985;Badlfu 1991;Al-Khalifa 1996). Maria et al (2001) reported linoleic acid, oleic, palmitic and stearic acids as predominant fatty acids in Cucumis melo Var.…”

“…Several authors (Al-Khalifa, 1996;Kamel et al, 1985;Badlfu, 1991) have reported studies about some melon seeds and compared the physicochemical characteristics of their oils with those from conventional sources. Melon (Cucumis melo) seeds, besides possessing medicinal qualities (Bellakhdar et al 1991), are also a rich source of protein (53.90%) and oil (37.67%) (Mariod et al 2008;Rashwan et al 1993).…”

other hand SFA decreased from 16.35 to 13.91% in GLO 1 st fraction, and MUFA decreased from 17.50 to 15.57% in GLO 2 nd fraction, while PUFA increased from 66.15 to 70.52% in GLO 3 rd fraction. The different fractions of the two oils showed high antioxidant activity in reducing the oxidation of β-carotene in beta-carotene bleaching assay (BCB) and the quenching of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH).

“…People in Italy, France, Spain, Turkey and Greece have benefited from the by-products of wine, vinegar, grape juice and "pekmez" (boiled grape juice). Most of the seeds (about 20% to 26% of the pomace) are produced in large quantities by wineries (Kamel et al, 1985;Göktürk Baydar & Akkurt, 2001). Grape species have economic importance in both the fresh and processed fruit markets.…”
