Phytochemical Studies of Momordica Charantia Fruit: Seed Extraction via Aqueous Enzymatic Extraction and Pulp Maceration
The edible fruits of Momordica charantia or bitter melons have been used for over a decade in folk medicine for treatment of diabetes and malaria. The seeds usually have been discarded without any further use, however, it’s can be a good source of biomass. Hence, this research aimed to isolate activ...

| Summary: | The edible fruits of Momordica charantia or bitter melons have been used for over a decade in folk medicine for treatment of diabetes and malaria. The seeds usually have been discarded without any further use, however, it’s can be a good source of biomass. Hence, this research aimed to isolate active constituents from Momordica charantia seeds after aqueous enzymatic extraction and pulp after maceration. |
