Please I need a novel idea on Melon seed processing

Hi Toba,
What type of melon do you have? Here at the ECHO Global Seed Bank, we have tried fermentation processes with some melons (e.g. winter melons/wax gourd) but not with others!
@Paw_Danmalidoi is the ECHO Asia Seed Bank Manager and she will also likely have some good insight for you!
A recent ECHO intern who spent time in Senegal, @Grace_Brinsfield, said that the seed manager there fermented cucumber inside the fruit. Grace, could you share a bit more?
Mr. Toba,
Sir, are you referring to the cracking of egusi melon for cooking? A very labor intensive process indeed. Iām interested to hear if anyone has novel ideas.
