Abstract:In this study, the effect of the drying process on the quality of oils obtained from different melon seeds was investigated. The seeds of two different melon varieties (Kırkağaç, Hasanbey) were separated and dried in the oven at different temperatures (30, 50 and 70 °C). Moisture, 1000 grain weight, width, length, thickness, oil yield, free fatty acidity, peroxide value, color values (L*, a*, b*), and total phenolic substance amounts and fatty acid composition were examined. The average of initial moisture val… Show more
