An investigation into the sensory properties of luffa [Luffa cylindrica(L.)] sap

Journal of Food Science
AbstractThe seeds and sap of luffa [Luffa cylindrica(L.)] are usually discarded as waste. As such, this study aimed to identify the sensory properties of luffa sap (aqueous solution) and if it can be incorporated into a food item (orange juice) for added nutritional benefits and as an alternative sweetener.

Diversity of flower visitor insects in monoculture of luffa [Luffa acutangula L.] and intercropping of luffa and bitter melon [Momordica charantia L.]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Insects play important roles in pollinating flowers. The success of a plant to produce fruit depends more on the pollinating insects than other factors. This research aimed to study the diversity of species of flower-visiting insects and their role in monoculture and intercropping systems.
