The purpose of these studies was to compare the biochemical parameters in the rind and flesh of new varieties of watermelon of different groups of ripeness created at the Bykovskaya melon breeding experimental station of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Horticulture. As a result of the work, it was revealed that the studied varieties of watermelon have a high content of sugars and vitamin C. Therefore, for food and medical purposes, it is possible to use not only pulp, but also rind.
