To contribute to the development of local medicinal plants for their therapeutic properties, we are interested in the study of Citrullus Colocynthis plant known in traditional medicine. The Citrullus Colocynthis is a desert plant encountered on sandy soils in the region of Ghardaia and also very well known for its medicinal virtues. In the present work we have characterized the seed oil of the plant with a yield of 17,854%, for the determination of different chemical indicators such as the acid value (AV), iodine (II), of saponification (IS), peroxide (IP) and physical indicia as the refractive index (RI) and the density. The result shows that this oil is rich in fatty acids such as palmitic acid (C16) and stearic (C18). The defatted seed contain a very large amount of proteins studied by three methods: Biuret, Lowry and Kjeldahl method.

Abstract: (french)
Afin de contribuer à la valorisation des plantes médicinales locales pour leurs vertus thérapeutiques, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'étude de la plante Citrullus Colocynthis connue en médecine traditionnelle. La Citrullus Colocynthis est une plante saharienne rencontrée sur les terrains sablonneux de la région de Ghardaïa qui est aussi très réputée pour ses vertus médicinales. Dans le présent travail nous avons caractérisé l'huile des graines de cette plante qui présente un rendement de 17,854%, par la détermination des différents indices chimiques tels que l'indice d'acide (IA), d'iode (II), de saponification (IS), de peroxyde (IP) et par des indices physiques comme l'indice de réfraction (IR) et la densité. Le résultat obtenu montre que cette huile est riche en acides gras tels que les acides palmitiques (C16) et stéarique (C18). Les tourteaux renferment une quantité très importante des protéines étudiées par trois méthodes : méthode de Biuret, de Lowry et de Kjeldhal.
