- Abstract
The watermelon is a fruit used on a large scale in human nutrition. Cucurbitceae species are a source of many nutrients such as protein, minerals, lipids as well as ingredients for medicine. The main non-edible parts are the seeds and the rind that make them agro-wastes. Watermelon seeds and rind may represent an appropriate tool for the treatment of various diseases in those countries that use a more classical therapeutic approach. In this article is made a brief analysis of the ways to recover the resulted wastes from the cultivation of watermelon. The most promising directions are obtaining the bioactive compounds, biofertilizers and biogas.
