Abstract:

Melon is one of the main horticultural products that are harvested in Mexico and is a sourceof employment and an important income for farmers in the country. Melon is in great demand in thejuice and pulp industry and nowadays it is a current task to develop technologies for the use ofprocessed seeds from melons. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the yield of15 minerals and the composition of fatty acids present in melon seeds in order to add value to thisresidue. Some polyphenols were also determined in order to verify their possible intake to reducecertain health problems. Allergies and lactose intolerances have increased in recent years andtherefore there has been a growing demand for alternatives. By taking advantage of the melon seeds,we sought to create a drink made of melon seeds as a substitute for milk. After performing severalexperiments in the lab, it was demonstrated that melon seeds contain high amounts of linoleic acid, asubstance that regulates hormone production, improves neuronal function, strengthens the immunesystem and reduces cholesterol, thus preventing certain cardiac problems.
