Abstract:
The seed proteins of four species of Cucurbitaceae (melon, water melon, cucumber, pumpkin) were analysed. Thirteen amino acids viz., arginine, histidine, lysine, threonine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, tyrosine, tryptophane, phenylalanine, methionine, proline and cystine were indentified. Tables are given for oil and protein parts of the seeds, and percentage composition of amino acids in proteins of the four seeds.
