watermelon seed full-fat (wmsf) and watermelon seed meal (wmsm) samples were analyzed for proximate composition and then incorporated in broiler chicks diets at increasing levels up to 20%. feeding increasing levels of wmsf to broiler chicks for up to 20% increased weight gain (p

Sweetness or sugar content, represented by soluble solids contents (SSC), is a vital quality trait in watermelon breeding which can be assessed the refractive index method. However, sampling juice out of pulp process that both labor-intensive and error-prone. In this study, we developed an automatic SSC measurement system for to improve efficiency decrease costs. First, built cutting cut waterm...

We investigated the one-step synthesis of CdS nanoparticles via green synthesis that used aqueous extract of watermelon rind as a capping and stabilizing agent. Preliminary phytochemical analysis depicted the presence of carbohydrates which can act as capping and stabilizing agents. Synthesized CdS nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray...

With increasing public demand for ready-to-eat fresh-cut food products, proper sanitation of food-processing equipment surfaces is essential to mitigate potential contamination these products ensure safe consumption. This study presents a monitoring technique using hyperspectral fluorescence images detect fruit residues on surfaces. An algorithm the 2B-finished and #4-finished stainless-steel, ...
