Water melons have been part of human diet for ages due to its nutritional values. But consumption of these fruits generates outer skin wastes that could bring about environmental pollution if not properly handled. Towards recycling of vegetative wastes avoiding littering and waste-udrelated environmental degradation, this study was carried out to explore the sugar components of non-edible water melon with a view to establishing their raw material potentials. Selected samples are cut into small bits,uddried, powdered and were subjected to sensitive extraction procedure developed using the mixture Methanol Dichloromethane-Water (MDW) (0.3:4:1v/v/v) and MeOH-H2O phase was assayed for sugar analysis. The extracted sugars were put through some chemical characterization procedures for purposes of separation and identifying its components. The various standard sugars were spotted using the solvent system n-butanol-acetone-diethyl amine- water (10:10:2:6, v/v/v/v) in the cellulose layer for TLC analysis which indicated the presence of Rhamnose, sucrose, mannose and glucose.
