In this work, physicochemical characteristics of the oils extracted from Cucumeropsis manni (Egusi) and Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) seeds were determined, and the output for both vegetable oils was compared. Unshelled seeds of both C. mannii and C. lanatus were purchased from modern market, in Lafia local government area of Nasarawa state, Nigeria. Following dehulling, oil was extracted from both seed samples using the cold extraction technique. The physicochemical properties such as density, viscosity, iodine value (IV), acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), and saponification value (SV) of the seed oil samples were then examined. The result revealed that the density for both C. mannii and C. lanatus seed oil were 0.98 ± 0.16 and 0.98 ± 0.16 g/ml, and their viscosity are 72.5 ± 0.03 and 57.5 ± 0.11 Cp respectively. Both C. mannii and C. lanatus seed oil IV was 84.92 ± 0.24 and 80.91 ± 0.12 g/I2/100 g, AV was 2.92 ± 0.26 and 2.44 ± 0.04 mgKOH/g, and PV was 3.77 ± 0.01 and 4.28 ± 0.05 meq peroxide/g respectively. The SV for C. mannii is 243.85 ± 0.31 is higher than that of C. lanatus which is 187.12 ± 0.19 mgKOH/g. In conclusion, the iodine, acid, and peroxide values for both samples show that they are safe to consume. The C. mannii SV demonstrates that it is superior for soap manufacturing. Finally, the PV demonstrates that both samples are suitable for biodiesel production, which can help reduce the impact of climate change on our society as a whole.

This study evaluated the hepatic and renal properties of cucumeropsis manni seed oil on cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity in Wistar albino rats. Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned into 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F) of 6 rats each. Group A (normal control) received 5ml/kg b.w of normal saline for 28 days; Group B (negative control) received 5ml/kg b.w of normal saline for 27 days and 100 mg/kg b.w of cyclophosphamide at day 28 only. Group C (standard control) received 300 mg/kg b.w of Omega 3 oil for 27 days and 100 mg/kg b.w of cyclophosphamide on day 28. Group D received 5 ml/kg b.w of C. mannii seed oil for 27 days, then 100mg/kg b.w of cyclophosphamide at day 28. Group E received 2.5 ml/kg b.w of C. mannii seed oil for 27 days and 100 mg/kg b.w of cyclophosphamide atday 28. Group F received 1.5 ml/kg b.w of C. mannii seed oil for 27 days and 100 mg/kg b.w of cyclophosphamide at day 28. Normal saline, Omega 3 oil and C. mannii seed oil were administered via oral intubation, while cyclophosphamide was administered intraperitoneal. The body weights of the experimental rats were measured on a weekly basis. On day 29, rats from each group (Groups A-F) were sacrificed and serum collected for biochemical analysis. Kidney function parameters such as serum creatinine, serum urea, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum Na+, and K+ are determined using commercial kits following the manufacturer's instructions. Liver function parameters, serum albumin, total bilirubin and total protein were done by Doumas et al. (1971), and AST and ALT activities were assayed by the method of Reitman and Frankel (1957). In contrast, the activities of ALP were done using the method of Plummer (1978). Cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity was evidenced by significant (p<0.05) elevation in the activities of ALT, AST and ALP and levels of albumin, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, creatinine, urea, BUN, sodium and potassium about the standard control. Administration of CMSO and Omega 3 fatty acid before administration of the cyclophosphamide in rats led to an increase in body weight. However, administration of Cucumeropsis mannii seed oil and Omega 3 oil significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated the toxicity caused by cyclophosphamide in a non-dose-dependent manner. This study suggests that prophylactic administration of Cucumeropsis mannii seed oil could be clinically important in managing cyclophosphamide-induced hepato-renal toxicity in albino rats.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Cytokinin (6-Benzyl-aminopurine); BAP at two concentrations on the growth of <em>Cucumeropsis mannii </em>and was conducted at the Screen house of the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Rivers State University, Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. <em>Cucumeropsis mannii </em>is a species of melon native to tropical West, Central and East Africa and cultivated widely in a number of countries including Nigeria, Benin republic and Cameroon primarily for its ‘leaves’ rich in nutrients and are of high medicinal value, which are consumed as vegetables in some parts of Benin republic and in some Eastern parts of Nigeria and for its white, flat and smooth seeds called ’Egusi-itoo’ which serves as food and as a source of oil. Viable seeds of C<em>ucumeropsis mannii </em>sterilized in 70% ethanol solution were presoaked in 50ppm and 100ppm concentrations each of BAP for four hours. Data collection was done at an interval of two weeks. The collected data; plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, internode length, fresh weight, dry weight and chlorophyll content were subjected to analysis of variance and tested for significance at 5% level of significance. BAP was effective on enhancing growth as the highest mean number of leaves (11.6), mean leaf area (73.5cm<sup>2</sup>), mean internode length (5.1cm), mean fresh weight (17.0g), mean dry weight (2.6g) and mean chlorophyll content (35.7spad) was recorded with the use of 50ppm BAP while the highest mean plant height (43.3cm) was recorded in the control. The study established that improvement of vegetative growth of <em>Cucumeropsis mannii </em>which entails availability of healthy green leaves for consumption as vegetables, and for medicinal use, as well as the possibility of improving fruit and seed quality is achievable with the use of 50ppm BAP.

Defatted Lagenaria siceraria seeds and those of Cucumeropsis mannii, obtained after lipid extraction using food-grade hexane, were converted into flours (defatted Lagenaria siceraria seeds flours, LSDSF; defatted Cucumeropsis mannii seed flours, CMDSF), and analysed for their chemical and amino acid (AA) compositions, protein fractions, protein molecular weight distribution, granular surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy, and thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, their antioxidant activities were evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging and phosphomolybdate reducing power assays. LSDSF and CMDSF contained mainly globular shaped proteins with high thermal stability. Composition wise, these proteins primarily consisted of globulins, glutelins, and albumin. AA analysis of the total protein identified 18 amino acids including all the essential AA. These flours thus could be potential sources of antioxidant compounds with higher activity in aqueous than in methanolic extract. Based on their composition and physicochemical characteristics, LSDSF and CMDSF are potentially good ingredients usable in food systems with low lipid oxidation.

Palm oil, the most oil consumed in the world, because of its high saturated fatty acid content, is nowadays recognized to enhance Cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). In this study, we sought to propose Cucurbitaceae seeds oils (CSO) as reducing CVD risk and a good source of income. Then, physicochemical parameters, composition and nutritional value of Citrullus lanatus seeds oil (HCL), Lagenaria siceraria seeds oil (HLS), Cucumeropsis mannii seeds oil (HCM) were compared to that of Refined palm oil (RPO) and among them. Four diets, conformed to that proposed by AIN-93G but differing to the oil, were formulated by using one of the CSO extracted or RPO. These diets served to feed four homogeneous groups of young rats (six per group) during 45 days. Diets consumption and efficacy were evaluated. Blood sample, collected at the end of the experimentation, were used to measure out heamatological parameters, glyceamia, urea, creatinine, lipids parameters, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alanine Aminine Transferase, sodium and calicium. Peroxide index and specific gravity were in accordance to the norm. Free fatty acid content of RPO and HLS were in the norm but acid values of the fourth oils were lower than the safe limit for consumption. Grading of most unsaturated fatty acid content was HCL, HCM, RPO and HLS respectively. Plasma parameters, organ weight and the coefficients calculated were not different (p > 0.05) to each other, but according to atherogenicity index, the grading of high inducing cardiovascular disease was HCM, RPO, HCL and HLS respectively. Without no technological treatment CSO compete with RPO. There are possibility that refined CSO reduced CDV than RPO.

Abstract Background: Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Cucumeropsis mannii and Citrullus lanatus commonly called pumpkin seeds or egussi, the oil-rich seeds, have already demonstrated hypolipidemic activity. In Africa, these seeds are popularly used in the preparation of local foods. During that thermal process, the fatty acid content of pumpkin seeds’ oils may be altered in their functionality. Thus, this work aims at studying the effect of stifled cooking on the quality and the lipid-lowering potential of oils’ extracts from Citrullus lanatus (CL) and Cucumeropsis mannii (CM). Methods: The oils were extracted from the pumpkin seeds (raw and cooked) by a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2/1). The acid, iodine, peroxide and thiobarbituric acid value of the oils were assessed. For 28 days, the oils were subsequently administered by oral intubation to high-fat diet induced hyperlipidemic rats. At the end of the experimentation, the lipid profile, the markers of the hepatic and kidney function were determined. Results: The oils extracted from raw CL and CM significantly reduced (p˂0,05) serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, uric acid, serum transaminases, creatinine, urea and increases the serum High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)cholesterol level relative to the oils extracted from cooked CM and CL. Moreover, the oil from cooked CL significantly (p<0.05) reduced some lipid profile and toxicity parameters (triglycerides and Alanine animotransferase) while increasing the serum HDL compared to the oil extracted from cooked CM. On the other hand, all the quality parameters of the raw materials followed the limits for vegetable oils, as opposed to cooked samples. Conclusion: Stifled cooking affects the lipid-lowering potential of CM oil compared to that of CL oil. Keywords: Citrullus lanatus; Cucumeropsis mannii; Cucurbitaceae, Hyperlipidemia, Stifled cooking.

In this study, corrosion inhibition efficiency of Cucumeropsis mannii shell extract (CMSE) was tested on A515 Grade 70 carbon steel in 1.0 M NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and weight loss (WL) measurements were used to investigate the inhibition efficiency. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic adsorption spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to characterize the carbon steel and extract. PDP and EIS measurements revealed maximum inhibition efficiency of 91.2% and 92.2%, respectively. Tafel plot confirmed inhibitor to be a mixed type. A monolayer adsorption of CMSE molecules occurred spontaneously by physisorption. Polarization resistance increased with increasing inhibitor concentration. WL measurement revealed decrease in corrosion rate with increasing concentration of corrosion inhibitor. Maximum Young modulus and hardness of 202.4 GPa and 112.3 BHN, respectively, were recorded for the carbon steel at a minimum corrosion rate and load. Pitting and uniform corrosion were formed on the carbon steel in the absence of CMSE. CMSE contains –OH, –OCH3, and –C-NH3 as active functional groups. In conclusion, Cucumeropsis mannii shell extract acted excellently as corrosion inhibitor for A515 Grade 70 carbon steel in 1.0 M NaCl.

Recently, there has been more attention on the bioactivity of phytochemicals and other metabolites in agro-food by-products for the management of oxidative stress–related conditions. Hence, the objective of this paper is to assess the nutraceuticals potential by investigating antioxidant and α-amylase inhibitory potentials of seed coat protein isolates from four melon species namely: Citrullus colocynthis, Citrullus mucosospermus, Cucumeropsis mannii and Lagenaria siceraria using appropriate standard methods. At highest concentration, Lagenaria siceraria had the strongest free radical scavenging activity (38% inhibition). The strongest chelating effect was exhibited by C. mannii (IC50 = 0.59 ± 0.08 mg/ml), which also showed highest ferric reducing potential at all concentrations. At 0.05 mg/ml, C. colocynthis, C. mucosospermus, C. mannii, and L. siceraria seed coat protein extracts inhibited alpha-amylase activity by 43.2%, 16.76%, 2.6% and 22.3%, respectively, and inhibition of 60.9%, 28.6%, 38.3% and 29.5% were recorded for the seed protein extracts respectively, at 0.5 mg/ml. In conclusion, the various melon seed coat protein isolates showed appreciable levels of antioxidants and possessed inhibitory activity against α-amylase. Hence, the seed coats of the four melon varieties assessed in this study are promising potential sources of antioxidants for the supplementary treatment of oxidative stress–induced conditions.

Agar, an expensive gelling agent for culturing microbes affects holistic microbiological and pharmaceutical usage. Hence, plants used as thickening agents should be investigated. This work aims to evaluate the gelling properties of the seeds of Brachystegia eurycoma, Mucuna sloanei, Detarium microcarpum and Cucumeropsis mannii, as alternative gelling agents to agar in microbial culture media. The analyses were investigated in accordance with standard procedures and their modifications by pulverization, bleaching and physicochemical methods. The 3 plants showed relative gelling property when compared to that of agar-based media except for Cucumeropsis mannii which did not exhibit any gelling property at all concentrations. At the least (0.056g/mL) and highest (0.081g/mL) concentrations with equivalent gelling activity to agar at 0.015g/mL as the standard, B. eurycoma exhibited significant (p<0.05) gelling property in more concentrations compared to D. microcarpum and M. sloanei. Furthermore, there was improved gelling activities of the plants after treatment with 3% sodium hypochlorite especially with 250mm than 500mm sieve sizes. Homogeneity, consistency, surface-streaking, transparency, smoothness, hardness, friability of nutrient and sabouraud dextrose broths formulated with different seeds powder showed significant (P<0.05) disparities; while gelling strength (0.0325-0.13mg/ml), time (2-26 minutes) and colour (amber-light yellow) as well as pH (4.8-6.4) were significantly (P<0.05) comparable to that of agar with 0.0028-0.0056mg/ml, 10-15 minutes, amber colour, 5.6 and 6.6 as pH respectively. From this study, B. eurycoma exhibited good gelling properties followed by D. microcarpum and M. sloanei that are worth investigating further as possible alternative gelling agent to agar for formulation of microbial culture media.

Anatomical relationship among <em>Citrullus lanatus </em>(Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai<em>, Cucumeropsis mannii </em>Naudin and <em>Lagenaria siceraria </em>(Molina) Standl planted in controlled conditions in the Botanical garden of the University of Calabar were determined. Standards anatomical (transverse) sections of the leaves were prepared and photo micro graphed. Generalized transverse sections of the leaf, stomata and trichome were studied. The result showed a single layer of epidermal cells, a thick cuticle on both leaf surfaces, presence of hairs and the occurrence of collenchymatous tissues along the median line of the upper surface of each leaf midrib. The palisade parenchyma consists of 2 to 3 layers of elongated, cylindrical cells which are closely packed together in all the species while the spongy parenchyma are loosely arrange with numerous intercellular spaces and are irregular in shape in all species. The vascular bundles in all the species are bicollateral but are differentially arranged depending on species. Anatomy of the leaf section reveals the presence of anomocytic stomata in all three species. The stoma was observed as completely surrounded by four to six variable shapes and sizes of subsidiary cells. The cells surrounding the stoma are quite alike to the remaining epidermal cells except among the subsidiary cells surrounding the stoma. The subsidiary cells are four (4) in <em>L. siceraria</em>, five (5) in <em>C. mannii </em>and variable (4-6) in <em>C. lanatus. </em>The trichome of all three species is multicellular and unbranched (uniseriate). However the shape is conical in <em>L. siceraria</em> and <em>C. mannii </em>but clavate in <em>C.lanatus. </em>The number of cells in the trichome varies from 2-3 in<em> C. lanatus </em>and 3-4 in <em>L. siceraria</em> and <em>C. C. mannii. </em>While there are ridges on the trichome of <em>L. siceraria </em>the terminal cell in all three species tapers. When these data were converted to numerical taxonomy using Euclidean distance<em>, L. siceraria</em> was observed as the out group with <em>C. mannii</em> and <em>C.lanatus</em> exhibiting about 83.3% and 66.3% shared apomorphies. The differences proved statistically significant at 0.05 confidence limit. Thus the use of anatomical evidence disagrees on the lumping of these species into one genus.

Thirty accessions from three cultivars (small seeds, medium seeds and large seeds), collected from center, east, north and south of Côte d'Ivoire, were analyzed for genetic differentiation. Five primers (Sola1, Sola4, Sola7, Sola8 and B4) were used to identify ISSR markers in C. mannii. These primers revealed a total of 55 bands of which 52 bands (93.06 %) are polymorphic. Molecular Analysis of Variance (AMOVA) indicates a weak genetic differentiation of the three cultivars (Fst = 0.048 or 5 %; p = 0.01). When considering the collection area, a weak differentiation between accessions was observed (Fst = 0.027 or 3 %; p = 0.01). On the other hand, a strong genetic differentiation was observed between accessions of the same cultivar (Fst = 0.268 or 24 %; p = 0.01) and between individuals of the same accession, for which a highly significant differentiation (Fst = 0.261 or 74 %; p = 0.01) was observed. For the constitution of a gene bank, it is necessary to keep many individuals in a limited number of accessions from few regions. Indeed, the dendrogram of C. mannii indicates a weak differentiation between cultivars and therefore their belonging to the same common ancestor.

The richness in protein and oil of curcubit seeds is highly coveted in the food field. In addition, in the cosmetics industry, it is a very popular ingredient. The oils of these seeds contain a diversity of fatty acids that can be advantageous during topical application. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of the seeds and seed oils of five cucurbits (&lt;i&gt;Cucumeropsis Mannii, Citrullus colocynthis, Cucumis Melo, Citrullus mucosospermus, and Citrullus lanatus&lt;/i&gt;) cultivars cultivated in Ivory Coast. Analysis of free fatty acid composition revealed a high linoleic acid content ranging from 24 and 70%. As well as the presence of α-linolenic acid (6.8 - 8.6%) and γ-linolenic acid (7.3 - 8.2%) in Citrullus colocynthis and Citrullus mucosospermus oils. The water and dry matter contents of the kernels vary between 3 and 4% and between 96 and 97%. The kernels of these cucurbits are rich in protein, with a high content of 25.9 ± 0.4% for Cucumeropsis Mannii, 29.0 ± 1.2% for Citrullus &lt;i&gt;colocynthis&lt;/i&gt;, 24.1 ± 0.6% for &lt;i&gt;Cucumis&lt;/i&gt; Melo, 24.8 ± 0.5% for &lt;i&gt;Citrullus mucosospermus&lt;/i&gt; and 25.5 ± 0.4% for &lt;i&gt;Citrullus lanatus.&lt;/i&gt; The quantity of lipids extracted by the Soxhlet method varied from 42 to 55%. These lipids have low acidity levels varying between 1.13 ± 0.1 to 2.01 ± 0.3% with densities of approximately 0.92 ± 0.01. The iodine values determined for these oils vary between 114.23 ± 0.2 to 122.15 ± 0.3. As for the saponification index, they are between (190 to 202 mgKOH/g).

The human population is predisposed to some considerable amounts of radiation especially ionizing radiation which may negatively impact their metabolic processes. Herbal extracts can mitigate these harmful effects. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the protective effect of n-Hexane extracts of Telfairia occidentalis and Cucumeropsis mannii seeds oils against radiation-mediated oxidative stress in Wistar rats. Sixty male rats were randomly distributed into six groups of six animals each and n-hexane extracts of T. occidentalis and C. mannii were administered at a dose of 2.4 or 4.8 mg/kg b. wt., orally for 7 days before irradiation and 10 days after irradiation, when they were sacrificed. Lipid peroxidation was measured, hepatic antioxidant status; SOD, CAT, GSH, Gpx and GST were estimated. The activities of liver enzymes: ALT, AST and ALP were measured and histological examination of sections of the liver was carried out. Radiation significantly increased MDA levels, SOD, GPx, AST, ALT and ALP activities but reduced body weights, total proteins, CAT, GSH and GST activities. Administration of the extracts significantly reduces the levels of MDA, SOD, GPx, ALT, AST and ALP activities while they increase the activities of CAT, GSH and GST at a dosage of 4.8 mg/kg. Histological examination showed increased levels of toxicity in radiated and groups administered 2.4 mg/kg extracts. From these findings, extracts of T. occidentalis and C. mannii at 4.8 mg/kg b. wt are effective herbal remedies in the prevention and amelioration of the consequences of oxidative stress due to exposure to ionizing radiation.

White melon (Cucumeropsis mannii Naudin), is among common and yet underutilized oil seed crop within the West African region, does not have sufficient information specific to its nutrient composition for foreign consumers. To supplement existing information, therefore, we investigated the nutritional profile of defatted and full-fat flour, alongside physicochemical breakdown and storage performance of soxhlet-extracted oil from two white melon (C. mannii) seed varieties found in Southeast Nigeria. Nutritional profile involved the determinations of proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, functional properties as well as amino acid profile. Physicochemical breakdown involved the determinations of fatty acid profile, lipid breakdown parameters, as well as associated physical attributes. Results showed defatting of flours increased the protein (69.04%), carbohydrates (16.26%), crude fiber (2.68%), ash (11.9%), mineral (Na ranging from 223.92–246.99 mg/100g), and vitamin contents (Vit B1 ranging from 0.453–0.712 mg/100g). Total amino acid differed slightly when comparing miniature (30.36 g/100g) and large (22.36 g/100g) seeds. Soxhlet-extracted oil possessed low thiobarbituric acid, acid, and peroxide values (0.030 and 0.038 mg MDA/kg, 1.08 and 1.27 mg KOH/g, and 2.95 and 3,94 mEqO2/kg, for large and miniature seeds respectively), and peak linoleic acid (5 and 6.45 mg/ml, for miniature and large seeds respectively). During storage, the thiobarbituric acid and peroxide values of soxhlet-extracted oil increased yet within acceptable limits.

Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses, driving various pathological conditions. Amino acid deficiency weakens these defenses, worsening cellular damage in a vicious cycle. Therefore, supplementing with amino acid-derived antioxidants can help restore the body’s protective mechanisms. In this study, proteins were isolated via alkaline solubilization-acid precipitation and enzymatically cleaved using pancreatin and pepsin to yield Cucumeropsis mannii Naudin (C. mannii) seed protein hydrolysates. The amino acid composition of the hydrolysates was determined using spectrophotometric method. The hydrolysates were investigated for their antioxidant properties were evaluated using 2, 20-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate cation radical (ABTS+) scavenging, 1,1 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. Following the experiments, the pancreatin- and pepsin-derived hydrolysate contained predominantly glutamate (10.61, 7.20 g/100g), leucine (9.32, 5.23 g/100g) and aspartate (7.11, 6.11 g/100g), respectively. The pancreatin- and pepsin-derived hydrolysates exhibited ABTS+ scavenging activity with IC50 values of 2.58 ± 0.01 mg/mL and 5.24 ± 0.03 mg/mL; DPPH scavenging activity with IC50 values of 9.44 ± 0.69 mg/mL and 7.88 ± 0.24 mg/mL, respectively; and reducing power with 20.01 ± 1.20 mM Fe2+ equivalent and 22.80 ± 1.45 mM Fe2+ equivalent, respectively at 5 mg/mL. In conclusion, the hydrolysates have the potential to function as an amino acid supplement for illness-related malnutrition and as antioxidant adjuvants in mitigating oxidative stress linked to various health conditions.

Increased industrialization, among other human activities, is of significant concern as it is a source of heavy metals and other environmental pollutants. These heavy metals tend to bioaccumulate in human and aquatic life, causing serious health issues. On the other hand, the underutilization of agricultural waste such as Melon seed peels has resulted in environmental pollution due to improper disposal. In this study, melon seed peels (Cucumeropsis Mannii) were carbonized, activated, and used to adsorb heavy metals from wastewater. The physicochemical characteristics of the melon seed peel adsorbent were determined using Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The efficiency of the adsorbent was tested on a simulated Lead, nickel, and chromium solution using batch adsorption at varied Time, pH, Concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The adsorbent was also tested on a paint effluent to see its industrial applicability. The data's adsorption kinetics were also described using a pseudo-first-order model, pseudo-second-order models, and an intra-particle diffusion model. The results show strong correspondence to a pseudo-second-order kinetics model with the correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.99, 0.87, and 0.97 for Pb, Ni, and Cr, respectively. This study’s findings provide insight into the effective utilization of the abundant melon seed peels as adsorbent to remove heavy metals from wastewater to consequently reduce environmental pollution.

In recent times, there has been a lot of adulteration, substitution of a certain plant parts for another among the melon species in the Cucurbitaceae family as a result of similarities of plant parts, due to the fact that these species are highly nutritious and medicinal and therefore well sought after by medical practitioners and students. Hence, study on the epidermal features of these plants was undertaken for easy identification. Five species of Cucurbitaceae, commonly called melons:  <em>Citrullus lanatus</em> Thunb. Matsum and Nakai (watermelon – three varieties based on the skin colour viz. light green (A), deep green (B) and striped green (C), <em>Citrullus</em> <em>Colocynthis </em>(L.) Schrad. (Egusi melon), <em>Cucumis melo</em> L. (sweet melon), <em>Cucumis sativus</em> L. (Cucumber), <em>Cucumeropsis mannii</em> Naud. (Syn. <em>C. edulis</em> (Hooker f.) cogn;  (White-seeded melon), and <em>Cucurbita moschata </em>(Duch. Ex Lam.) Duch. Ex Poiret) (Musk melon), found in Nigeria were studied. Epidermal features in the species included anomocytic and anisocytic stomata, glandular multicellular, and peltate trichomes and other epidermal features. The epidermal cell shape is irregular with sinuous anticlinal walls in <em>C. colocynthis</em>, trapezoid with straight anticlinal walls in two varieties of <em>C. lanatus</em>, <em>C. sativus</em> and <em>C. mannii</em>, and irregular with straight anticlinal walls in <em>C. melo, C. moschata, and a varietry of C. lanatus</em>. Stomatal index (SI) value are distinct for each species (9.01 in egusi melon and 5.30 in a variety of watermelon), being the highest and lowest in the Cucurbits studied. The study aims at improving taxonomic information on and the classification of these species. This study has successfully provided additional taxonomic characters in lieu of leaf epidermal features for the purpose of checking adulteration, substitution, and fraud carried out on these species.

Mayonnaise, a semi-solid emulsion of oil in water, is much appreciated for its pleasant taste, which can stimulate the appetite. However, many commercial mayonnaises are produced with oils rich in saturated fatty acids, which are responsible for a number of diseases. The aim of this work is to formulate a mayonnaise based on the seed oils of &lt;i&gt;Lagenaria siceraria&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Cucumeropsis mannii,&lt;/i&gt; enriched with essential oils (EO) of &lt;i&gt;Citrus sinensis&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Cymbopogon citratus&lt;/i&gt;. Five mayonnaise samples were formulated according to their vegetable and essential oil composition. After extraction and analysis of the oils, the prepared mayonnaises were subjected to physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses. The results showed that &lt;i&gt;L. siceraria&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;C. mannii&lt;/i&gt; oils contained predominantly linoleic (C18:2n-6), oleic (C18:1 n-9), stearic (C18:0) and palmitic (C16:0) acids. C. citratus EOs analyzed by GC/MS yielded four components representing 93.71% of the total composition: geranial (50.32%), neral (33.27%), mircene (8.42%) and geraniol (1.67%). &lt;i&gt;C. sinensis&lt;/i&gt; epicarp oil yielded three majority compounds representing 96.18%: D-limonene (88.45%), β-pinene (2.94%) and linalool (4.78%). Both oils showed low antioxidant activity. The pH values of the freshly formulated mayonnaises ranged from 4.09 to 4.25. Acid and peroxide values were equal to 4.25 g KOH/g oil and 7.18 meq O2/ kg respectively for all mayonnaises. After 45 days&apos; storage at 4°C, these indices increased significantly (P &lt; 0.05). The addition of essential oils to mayonnaise samples resulted in absent or lower total bacterial counts. Overall, it was observed that E1 mayonnaise presented the highest sensory evaluation characteristics.

Background: In the last ten years, the resistance of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria continuously increased. The present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiotic-potentiating activities of nine Cameroonian medicinal plants: Cucumeropsis mannii, Lagenaria siceraria, Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbita moschata, Salix ledermannii, Gouania longispicata, Psychotria mapourioides, Conyza aethiopica and Conyza sumatrensis against resistant phenotypes. Methods: Liquid broth microdilution method was used for the determination of antibacterial activities, while standard methods were used for phytochemical screening to detect the major classes of secondary metabolites in the extracts. Results: The result of phytochemical screening revealed that the secondary metabolite classes were selectively detected in the extracts. The studied extracts showed antibacterial activities with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 64 to 1024 µg/mL on the tested strains. The Gouanea longispicata extract showed the greatest spectrum of action notably against 86.4% of the bacterial strains tested. The synergistic effects of the extracts and antibiotics observed varied from 20 to 60%. Salix ledermannii leaf extract in combination with cloxacilin and ciprofloxacin, showed the highest synergistic effects (60%) towards the tested pathogens. Conclusion: The present study provides information on the possible use of the tested Cameroonian medicinal plants in the control of bacterial infections, especially those caused by resistant phenotypes. It also indicates that extracts of Gouania longispicata and Salix ledermannii leaves can be used as natural modulators of antibiotic resistance to control MDR bacteria. Keywords. Antibacterial; antibiotic modifying activity; Cameroon; medicinal plants; multi-drug resistance.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the protective roles of Adansonia digitata (African baobab) Cucumeropsis mannii (Melon), Abelmoschus esculentus (Okro), on lipid profile, bone health, and selected organs (liver, kidney, brain, and testis) against cadmium-induced toxicity in rabbits. Twenty male rabbits were grouped into five with four rabbits in each group. Group 1 served as positive control and received standard feed and 1.5 mg/kg body weight normal saline, group 2 served as negative control and were exposed to 1.5 mg/kg body weight cadmium chloride, group 3 received 1.5 mg/kg body weight cadmium Adansonia digitata supplemented feed, group 4 received 1.5 mg/kg body weight cadmium chloride and Citrullus lanatus supplemented feed, while group 5 were given 1.5 mg/kg body weight cadmium chloride and Abelmoschus esculentus supplemented feed. All administrations were orally and lasted for 28 days. At the end of the administration, blood, liver, kidney, brain, and testes were harvested from the rabbits for biochemical and histological analysis. One-way analysis of variance followed by Turkey’s test was used to analyze the results with p < 0.05 considered significant. The results revealed that cadmium exposure caused a significant increase in serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, and atherogenic index in rabbits exposed to cadmium. Cadmium exposure also reduced bone calcium concentration. Adansonia digitata maintained the atherogenic index of plasma at 2.67 compared with the positive control group (2.66). The three vegetables reversed the cadmium-induced up-regulation of total cholesterol and triacylglycerol in the liver, kidney, and brain but not in the testis. All the vegetables also restored bone calcium. Citrullus lanatus and Abelmoschus esculentus prevented organ damage induced by cadmium exposure. These vegetables however play different protective roles against cadmium exposed rabbits.
