| Abstract: |
| To explore the relationship between character of different melon seeds and their oil content and squalene content in oil, the single seed mass, 100 seeds mass, length, width, oil content and squalene content in oil were measured with 15 kinds of melon seeds such as Momordica charantia, Trichosanthes, seed melon and pumpkin etc. as experimental materials, and their correlation was analyzed. The results showed that the seed melon seed had the highest single seed mass, the longest length and the widest width of 0.255 2 g, 0.632 mm and 0.383 mm, respectively. The Argentine snake melon seed had the largest 100 seeds mass of 24.919 3 g. The oil content on dry basis and squalene content in oil of cut melon seed were the highest, with the oil content on dry basis of 41.14% and the squalene content of 2 525.8 mg/kg. The correlation analysis showed that the longer length and the wider the width of the seed, the larger the single seed mass and 100 seeds mass. Squalene content in oil was significantly positively correlated with oil content on dry basis (p＜0.05). Zucchini, green meat pastry, cut melon, early maturing pumpkin and pumpkin had certain reference value in squalene content in seed oil breeding. In summary, cut melon is a melon variety with high oil content in seed and high squalene content in its seed oil. |
