Abstract

Watermelon has long been thought to be a delicious but nutritionally deficient fruit throughout the world. Watermelon is now regarded as a "functional food" and a popular fruit that contains significant nutritional and bioactive components that have a variety of health advantages. Watermelon makes a significant contribution to the antioxidant activity of human diets. Both the seeds and the skin of a watermelon are edible and high in nutrients and bioactive substances, offering significant medical, health, and economic advantages. The combination of genetic, climatic, growing, and postharvest variables determines the quality of watermelon fruit. Watermelon's therapeutic function against life-threatening metabolic syndromes, especially chronic illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes, has been shown by many research. The health benefits of watermelon have recently been shown in a human model. There is still a need for further research on the watermelon's other appealing qualities.
