Abstract: 

 

Cucurbitaceae family are the second largest family of fruits and vegetables after Solanaceae  and its members are eaten in worldwide.

It  have nutrients for human health, including sugar, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals,  and other nutrients. Cucurbitaceae family consists several phytochemicals such as Tannins, Cardiac glycosides, Terpenoids, Carbohydrates, Resins, Saponins, Carotenoids, and Phytosterols etc. The present review emphasis on 20 plants of Cucurbitaceae family. The plants are mentioned with which plants parts are used by using of various solvents with their presence of phytochemicals.
