Abstract

Bitter gourd (Mormodica charantia, Cucurbitaceae) is
one of the popular vegetable crops in the tropical and
sub-tropical regions of the world and grown extensively
in India which accounts for about 31% of global
production. The demand of this vegetable is constantly
increasing owing to its better nutritional and medicinal
value as the fresh fruits are excellent source of folates,
vitamin-C, flavonoids and high dietary fiber. Most
importantly, it contains an insulin-like polypeptide that
has been suggested as an insulin replacement in diabetic
patients and therefore, always enjoys a premium price
in the market which ultimately makes it a highly
remunerative crop
