INTRODUCTION
RATIONALE:
cultivated in Egypt where statements to its legacy was recorded in hieroglyphics painted on
building walls. The edible part of a watermelon is known as a pepo, which is ripened ovary
(fruit) with watery flesh and a hard rind. From a usage standpoint, watermelon is consumed
pregnancy due to its high-energy content and nutrients such as B12, calcium, zinc (During,
many seeds (although there are seedless variants composition (pectin and dietary fiber) has
been suggested as a possible reason for its reuse. It would be beneficial to exploit the bark’s
nutritional potential and create commercial value, rather than being limited to agricultural
waste. Approaches have been introduced to reduce watermelon solid waste accumulation by
converting peel polysaccharides into other products such as bio sorbent, bioremediation,
biochar and bioethanol. In addition, watermelon peel has been studied as a source of
nutritious food ingredients such as antioxidants, amino acids and pectin, especially citrulline.
In processed foods, the rind has been tried as a cucumber and in jam.

Watermelon Albedo/rind is the thickest and most white part of the watermelon skin. Albedo
contains nutrients such as vitamins, citrulline, minerals and enzymes, also pectin which is
quite high at 21.03%. Therefore, watermelon albedo is very good to be used and developed
in Indonesia as a new food source such as fruit leather. Fruit leather is a snack product from
fruit pulp (puree) which is dried in an oven or dehydrator. In principle, making fruit leather is
a gel forming process from fruit puree containing pectin. The weakness of this albedo fruit
leather is the bland taste and less attractive colors, it is necessary to add another ingredient

This study aims to make zero waste approach of watermelon peel(rind). Most people
discard the watermelon rind as soon as they eat the delicious fruit inside, but considering
what a dense source of nutrients that rind represents, some people may consider the added
health benefits to the body by converting it to other product. Seven existing watermelon peel
pickle formulations (representing various pre-soak treatments including lime, brine and
water) were evaluated for their chemical, physical, sensory properties, safety and suitability
for industrial production. There was a correlation between texture and crispiness.
Additionally, older consumers rated their overall preference for watermelon rind cucumbers
higher than younger adults (P=0.0001). Six of the seven formulations used in this study are
considered safe for industrial production at current processing times and temperatures (at
pH less than 4).0); however, a formulation with a final pH close to 4.6 is not considered safe

respondents will determine the over-all acceptance of using watermelon as sweet Pickles,
Relish and Candy in terms of appearance of the product; taste based on the respondent’s
taste preferences; odor refers to product’s aroma, whether it is appetizing and inviting; and
acceptability is the over-all approval of using watermelon rind as a potential food product to

Procedure
In making the Watermelon pickles The researchers will grate the watermelon rind
and add them, toss together in a large container allowing the mixture to sit for 1 hour. After
soaking The researchers will drain the liquid from the watermelon rind and rinse thoroughly.
Place the watermelon rind in the middle of a large piece of cheesecloth and squeeze to drain
as much liquid from the watermelon as possible. The researchers will combine the
Watermelon, Carrot, Red Bell Pepper, Ginger, Green chili peppers, and Raisins together in a
Watermelon relish
To produce the watermelon relish, the diced watermelon rind will be combined with 2
½ cups water and 2 tablespoons salt. The mixture will be left overnight and let stand at
room temperature while covered. The sample will be rinsed well after draining. Then the
following ingredients will be incorporated to the mixture of sugar, ¾ cup water, and 2
teaspoons of Salt, Lemon Zest and Juice, Cinnamon, and cloves should be combined in a
medium pot. The researchers will cook the rind gradually for about 40 minutes, or until it is
transparent and soft, after bringing to a boil over medium heat carefully The researchers will

Watermelon candy
In making the watermelon candy the researchers will cut the watermelon rind into
strips in a saucepan and fill it with hot water. The mixture will be heated over medium-high.
The food sample will be boiled for five minutes. Well-drain the rinds, then allow them to
cool.The researcher will combine the salt and 4 cups of water in a glass or plastic bowl and
Mix well. Place the watermelon rinds in the salt container once it is cooled for at least 6
hours, cover the basin and allow the rinds soak in the brine. Rinse the rinds several times in
water after draining the brine. Put the rinds in a pot and add water to cover them. Over
medium-high heat, bring to a boil and Simmer, stirring regularly, until the watermelon rinds
are soft. The remaining water, sugar, and lemon peel should all be combined in one more
pot. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Cook the mixture for about 235 degrees
Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer, or until it reaches softball stage. To the sugar mixture,
add the washed rind. Cook at a simmer, stirring regularly, until the rind is transparent and the

Transfer the mixture to clean, dry jars with lids. Stir the vinegar, water, sugar,
and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Pour the
vinegar mixture into the jars, making sure the vegetables are completely soaked in liquid.

Marinate the vegetables in the liquid at least 1 day before using. Store in a lower

Watermelon relish
Place in a colander to drain; rinse thoroughly and drain again. Transfer to a large
stock pot and add remaining ingredients; bring just to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. At this
point, the relish is done. The researcher will put it in jars and then in the refrigerator to be
stored.
Watermelon candy
Place sugar in a shallow bowl. Dredge the rinds in the sugar, coating completely.
Shake off any excess sugar. Place the rinds on a rack to cool and dry. When dry, store the

Results and Discussion
respondent will serve with 3 trials of watermelon products. The products will be distributed to
the consumers and rate its acceptability using 7-point hedonic scale. The ratings will be
collected by the researchers for the tabulation and will be interpolated using weighted mean.
This study aims to utilize the watermelon rind as food products: pickles, relish, and sweet
candy. In terms of acceptability, this study will be evaluated based on the Appearance of the
watermelon pickles, relish, and sweet candy. Aroma is the odor of the product. Texture is the
size, shape, density and so on. And taste is the flavor of the watermelon pickles, relish, and
sweet candy.

According to the Dietary Guidelines over 90% of adults do not meet the fiber
recommendations. Current recommendations for fiber intake are 28 grams per day for
females and 34 grams per day for males. That being said, pickled watermelon rinds are a
great option to include alongside other plant foods to reach the recommended daily fiber
intake. Pickled watermelon rinds are also a source of an amino acid called citrulline. In the
body, citrulline acts as a vasodilator, in addition to assisting in the removal of toxins from the
body.
