To plump, white color is preferred.
Microscopic identification of seed transverse: kind of skin epidermal cells of 1 columns, near wall grid, slightly thick, slightly more than 10columns of wood; the cortical parenchyma cells, wall micro lignified, with pits; inside the2-3 column stone cell; aerenchyma1columns of cells, abuts the stone cell, cell gap between the larger end; two a vascular bundle;1 rows of cells within the epidermis. Nucellar epidermis of1columns of cells, outer cuticle, medial to the remnants of the nucellus and endosperm. Central has2 cotyledons, fatty oil and aleurone cells.
Physical and chemical identification of the goods from coarse powder1g,10min20ml water boiling, cooling, filtering. To obtain filtrate, the plug in the tube, intense shaking, produce lasting one bubble. ( check the saponin)

It contains lipids ( lipid ). With phosphatidylcholine ( phosphatidyl choline ), phosphatidyl has alcohol amine (pholphatidyl ethanolamine ), phosphatidyl serine ( phosphatidyl serine ), phosphatidylinositol ( phosphatityl inolitol ), sphingomyelin ( sphingomyelin ), cerebrosides ( cerebroside ) [2]. Also contain sterols:βsitosterol (β -sitosterol ), campesterol ( campesterol ), stigmasterol ( stigmasterol ) [2],24- already base cholesteric -7,25- two enolase (24-ethylcholesta-7,25-dienol ),24- already base cholesteric -7,22,25- three enolase (24-ethylcholesta-7,22,25-trienol,24- ) have base of cholesteric -7- enolase (24-ethylcholesta-7-enlo ),24- already base cholesteric -7,22- two (24-ethy-lcholesta-7,22-dienol ) - [3],24 α- has been the base of α - cholesteric -8,22- two alcohol (24 β -ethyl-5α -cholesta-8,α22 β - already base cholesteric -8,22,25(27) three - [24 β-ethyl-5α -cholesta-8,22,25(27) -simiarenol][4].

[ ] the pharmacological effect
The 1, immune function of melon seeds by hot water extraction, dialysis to dialysis liquid, the liquid on mouse lymphocyte mitogenic activity in a dose-dependent manner. Dialysis fluid for B cell mitogenic agent, PBA ( clonal B cell activator) activity and adjuvant activity, make PFC ( width of plaque forming cell ) significantly increased, presents the immune function of [1].
2, on trypsin inhibitory effects from the melon seeds purified trypsin inhibitor, get 4can inhibit the activity of trypsin component, wherein two groups belong to small molecule trypsin inhibitor [2].
