“…In terms of phenolic compounds in MSO, only vanillin was identified (0.59 mg equivalents quercetin/100 g) . This compound was also identified by Mohammad et al 85) in two cultivars of winter melon seed oils (4.78±1.8 µg/g for cultivar 1 and 8.86±2.32 µg/g for cultivar 2) . The authors also identified gallic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydrobenzaldehyde, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, trans-cinnamic acid, and ferulic acid.…”

The present study provides the fatty acid, tocopherol, phytosterol, and polyphenol profiles of some Mediterranean oils extracted from pumpkin, melon, and black cumin seed oils and those of dietary argan seed oil. Gas chromatography analysis revealed that oleic and linoleic acids were the most abundant fatty acids. Argan and melon seed oils exhibited the highest levels of oleic acid (47.32±0.02%) and linoleic acid (58.35±0.26%), respectively. In terms of tocopherols, melon seed oil showed the highest amount (652.1±3.26 mg/kg) with a predominance of γ-tocopherol (633.1±18.81 mg/kg). The phytosterol content varied between 2237.00±37.55 µg/g for argan oil to 6995.55±224.01 µg/g for melon seed oil. High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis also revealed the presence of several polyphenols: vanillin (0.59 mg equivalents Quercetin/100 g) for melon seed oil, and p-hydroxycinnamic acid (0.04 mg equivalents Quercetin/100 g), coumarine (0.05 mg equivalents Quercetin/100 g), and thymoquinone (1.2 mg equivalents Quercetin/100 g) for black cumin seed oil. The "Kit Radicaux Libres" (KRL) assay used to evaluate the scavenging properties of the oils showed that black cumin seed oil was the most efficient. On the light of the richness of all Mediterranean oil samples in bioactive compounds, the seed oils studied can be considered as important sources of nutrients endowed with cytoprotective properties which benefits in preventing age-related diseases which are characterized by an enhanced oxidative stress.

“…Mohammad et al. [ 85 ] reported that the winter melon seeds oil of two cultivars had total tocopherols of 961.80–1027.60 µg g −1 including β ‐tocopherol (593.30–478.98 µg g −1 ), α ‐tocopherol (19.30–30.87 µg g −1 ), and δ ‐tocopherol (44.20–196.96 µg g −1 ). Considering the results reported by Karrar et al.…”

“…[16] Jorge et al [84] reported that watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seeds oil belongs to the same botanical family had 748.1 mg kg −1 of total tocopherols. Mohammad et al [85] reported that the winter melon seeds oil of two cultivars had total tocopherols of 961.80-1027.60 µg g −1 including -tocopherol (593.30-478.98 µg g −1 ), -tocopherol (19.30-30.87 µg g −1 ), and -tocopherol (44.20-196.96 µg g −1 ). Considering the results reported by Karrar et al [14] it is possible to verify that gurum seeds have higher amounts of vitamin E than sesame and sunflower seeds.…”

Cucurbitaceae family seeds are mostly discarded as agro‐industrial wastes. Gurum (Citrullus lanatus var. colocynthoide) is an underutilized wild cucurbit plant, closely related to desert watermelon, which is grown abundantly in some African countries. Gurum seeds can play a significant role in health and nutrition due to their high oil content. This review describes the nutritional composition of gurum seeds and their oil profile. Gurum seeds are a good source of oil (27–35.5%), fiber (26–31%), crude protein (15–18%), and carbohydrates (14–17%). Gurum seeds oil is extracted by supercritical CO2 (SFE), screw press, and solvent extraction techniques. The gurum seeds oil is composed of unsaturated fatty acids with a high proportion of linoleic acid (C18:2) and oleic acid (C18:1). Gurum seeds oil contains various bioactive compounds, such as tocopherols, phytosterols, and polyphenols. It is reported that solvent extraction gives a higher yield than the screw press and SFE, but the SFE is preferred due to safety issues. More studies are required for producing better quality gurum seeds oil by using novel extraction techniques that can increase oil yield.

“…(Syn. Benincasa Cerifera Savi) is an annual plant of the family Cucurbitaceae that is widely distributed in Asian countries and regions, such as Korea, China, and India [12]. It is used mainly for edible and medicinal purposes in Asian countries, and currently, the Korean food ingredient list includes fruits and seeds, excluding peels [13,14].…”

This study aimed to confirm the immunomodulatory effects of fermented Benincasa hispida extract (HR1901-BS) on RAW 264.7 macrophages. B. hispida was fermented for 72 h using Bacillus subtilis CJH 101. To evaluate the efficacy of HR1901-BS in enhancing macrophage function, we measured and compared the levels of macrophage activation-related markers in HR1901-BS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. We evaluated the effects on nitric oxide (NO) production and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor TNF-β) in the RAW 264.7 cell line. We confirmed that HR1901-BS affected macrophage activation by inducing a significantly high dose-dependent NO production and increasing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in RAW 264.7 macrophages. It also suggested that the immunomodulatory effect by HR1901-BS occurred mainly as a result of the activation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways. Our results indicate that HR1901-BS is a promising candidate as a functional material that enhances immune responses through macrophage activation.
