Abstract
Comparative study of the seeds of 2 Cucurbitaceae Momordica charantia and Herpetospermum caudigerum shows an important difference concerning their metabolism, particularly Asp. Momordica can produce vicin, while for Herpetospermum, this amino acid would give Asn. Between the 2 species, Herpetospermum is the one able to accumulate lignoids.
