ABSTRACT

Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is a popular vegetable/fruit in many countries. Research

output in recent years has shed light on the multifarious health benefits of bitter gourd seeds,
fruits, leaves, and other parts of the plant. These effects encompass antidiabetic, antiobesity,
antitumor, antifungal, anti-HIV, and antibacterial activities. Most of the plant parts, especially the
seeds, contain oil. Bitter gourd seed oil is rich in stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, and it
exhibits antidiabetic and antitumor activities. In view of the fact that bitter gourd is a common
dietary component and its safety has been demonstrated, studies on bitter melon essential
oil are interesting and have promising commercial applications.

Bitter gourd is a tropical wine grown mainly in India, China and South East Asia. The plant is
cultivated mainly for its fruit part which is edible. Bitter gourd is unaccepted widely due to its
bitter taste. Nevertheless, the fruit is a source of several key nutrients. The plant, as a whole
contains, more than 60 phyto-medicines that are active against more than 30 diseases,
including cancer and diabetes. Currently, the incorporation of the bioactive compounds isolated
from bitter gourd into functional foods and beverages finds a new horizon. Nanoencapsulation
and novel green extraction methods can be employed to improve the yield and quality of
extracted compounds and their stability while incorporation into food products. The present
review is an attempt to throw light to nutritional aspects, various bioactive compounds present
and important nutraceutical properties of the bitter gourd plant in detail.
