Phytochemical Characterization of Cucumis callosus towards Potential Valorization: Effect of Maturity Stage and Drying Temperature on Bioactivity of Polyphenols Extracted from Fruit Waste
Cucumis callosus is an underutilized desert fruit with significant nutritional and therapeutic promise. Despite its availability in arid and semi-arid regions, C. callosus remains largely untapped regarding its phytochemical and nutraceutical potential. In this study, three anatomical parts of the fruit- peel, seed,...
