Abstract
The aim of this work was directed to study the seed-kernels of duruf (Lagenaria leucantha Rusby) and fluted pumplun (Telfairia occidentalis Hook F.) for the chemical composition and investigation of their lipids with capsulated lipid of pumpkin (Cz,rcz,irhita yeyo Oleum) to use these lipids as edible, in view of several points. The obtained results were summarized as follows: I - Gross chemical composition of duruf and fluted pumpkin seed-kernels were studied and the results indicated that the moisture contents of these kernels represented about 6.55 and 5.56%, respectively. The highest percentage of crude oil (56.26%) was found in duruf seed- Itemel, while pumpkin seed-kernel contained 45.8 1 % as crude oil. Crude protein content was fouind to be the second component in duruf and fluted pumpkin seed-kernels, the percentages reached 33.56 and 38.45%, respectively. Ash content was found at 5.02 and 5.54%, while the crude fibre content found at 1.56 and 1.76% for duruf and fluted p~mpkin seed-kernels, respectively. Carbohydrates content, by difference, was higher in fluted pumpkin seed-kernel (8.89%) than that of d~msfe ed-kernel (3 .GO%). 2- Gross chemical composition of dutuf and fluted pumpkin seed-flours were studied and the results indicated that extraction of the oils from the seed-kernels was increased the protein contents from 33.56% to 74.59% for dutuf and from 3 8.15% to 67.42% for fluted pumplun. So, the protein content was the main component in both seed-flours.
