Abstract
Watermelon is an important summer delicacy favoured by all kinds of people. Watermelon rind is the by-product often considered as waste but it is actually a rich source of nutrients especially dietary fibre and protein. It is often remained underutilized due to lack knowledge about processing technologies for its valorisation.
