“…Dried samples were digested using 6 mol/L HCl at 110 °C for 24 h under nitrogen atmosphere, and pre-column derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde was carried out accordingly [34]. Amino acid composition was assayed by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) in an Agilent 1100 system equipped with quaternary pump, column oven, ultraviolet detector, and automatic sampler [35] with some modifications. A reversed-phase chromatographic column (ODS HYPERSIL C18, 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA).…”

In order to evaluate the application potential of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) heads and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) heads; proximate composition, amino acids, fatty acids, carnosine, and anserine contents were analyzed in this study. Rainbow trout heads showed significantly higher protein (29.31 g/100 g FW, FW is abbreviation of fresh weight) and lipid (6.03 g/100 g FW) contents than skipjack tuna heads (18.47 g/100 g FW protein and 4.83 g/100 g FW lipid) (p < 0.05). Rainbow trout heads and skipjack tuna heads exhibited similar amino acid composition. Essential amino acids constituted more than 40% of total amino acids in both rainbow trout head and skipjack tuna head. The fatty acid profile was different between rainbow trout heads and skipjack tuna heads. Rainbow trout heads mainly contained 38.64% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and 38.57% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), whereas skipjack tuna heads mainly contained 54.46% saturated fatty acids (SFAs). Skipjack tuna heads contained 4563 mg/kg FW anserine and 1761 mg/kg FW carnosine, which were both significantly higher than those of rainbow trout heads (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that both rainbow trout heads and skipjack tuna heads may be used as materials for recycling high-quality protein. Meanwhile, rainbow trout heads can be used to extract oil with high contents of unsaturated fatty acids, while skipjack tuna heads may be a source for obtaining carnosine and anserine.

“…[3] Foods obtained from plant sources contain essential nutrients that mainly include vitamins, minerals, fiber, fat, and bioactive components with functional characteristics. [7,5,8] Fruit seeds predominantly considered as wastes but they have attained considerable attention due to the existence of bioactive compounds. Additionally, different beneficial products need to drive by these renewable resources.…”

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.

“…In developing countries alongside availability of food, the lack of nutritious food is one of the serious health causes of malnutrition. (Al‐Farga et al, ; Embaby & Rayan, ; Gulzar & Minnaar, ). Therefore, our greater efforts are necessary to cultivate more sources of food in order to meet the nutritional requirements of the growing world human population.…”

“…For this reason, the current research interest has been growing toward utilization of lesser known plants to be used as potential source of human food (Al‐Farga et al, ; Ee & Yates, ). Food originated from plant source contain essential vital nutrients those are necessary for living healthy life which mainly include monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols (α‐Tocopherol, β‐Tocopherol, δ‐Tocopherol, γ‐Tocopherol), carotenoids, phytosterol, β‐carotene, proteins, minerals (phosphorous, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, and potassium),vitamins, phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and carbohydrates among others (Al‐Farga et al, ; Riaz, Zia‐Ul‐Haq, & Saad, ). Until recently, fruit and vegetable seeds are often considered as waste products; but nowadays due to the presence of nutritional and bioactive components, its wide spread interest have attracted considerable attention.…”

A potential new source: Nutritional and antioxidant properties of edible oils from cucurbit seeds and their impact on human health

et al. 2018

Seeds from the cucurbitaceae plant family are discarded as the byproducts which generally obtained after extraction of oil during food processing. Recently, found a great deal of interest as cucurbit seeds are found to be rich source of nutrients such as monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols (α‐Tocopherol, β‐Tocopherol, δ‐Tocopherol, γ‐Tocopherol), carotenoids, β‐carotene, phytosterol, proteins, minerals, vitamins, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants. Despite the potential nutritional benefits, the commercial product of cucurbit plants are lacking in the market. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase production and utilization of cucurbit seed oil for human nutrition. The main purpose of the present review is to sum up the published information on the nutritional potential of cucurbit seed oils to promote industrial production and stimulates further research on commercial use of cucurbit seeds. Practical applications The aims of this review are to highlight the nutritional values and antioxidant properties of cucurbit seed and their impact on the overall human health. These cucurbit seeds are rich source of vitamins and minerals which are necessary for healthy human diet. In addition to other commercial oils, cucurbits oils are equally important and rich in essential active ingredients. Quite abundance of cucurbit seeds in African continents can pave way to enhance production on the industrial scale which can create employability ranging from farmers to skilled workers. In all, the oil produced from the cucurbit seeds can be applied practically to implement large‐scale production as a part of food industry and dietary supplement industry in paramedical sector.
