Dichloromethane - Water (MDW) (0.3:4:1v/v/v) and MeOH-H2O phase was assayed for sugar&#13;
analysis. Photodiode-array detection (DAD) has been used to prove the extracted compound is&#13;
UV inactive, Preparative High-performance liquid chromatography (prep HPLC) with&#13;
Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD) coupled to electro spray ionization mass&#13;
spectrometric (ESI-MS) detection in the positive ion mode gave MS and MSn fragmentation&#13;
data which were employed for their structural characterization and separation of individual&#13;
components. The various standard sugars were spotted using the solvent system n-butanol -&#13;
acetone - diethylamine - water (10:10:2:6, v/v/v/v) in the cellulose layer for TLC analysis&#13;
which indicated the presence of lactose, sucrose and glucose. This is the first assay of the sugar&#13;
profile of the non-edible portion of musk melon, which can be further developed for&#13;
characterization and evaluation of their quality with regards to their sugar composition.&#13;
