Cucumis melo extract coated and/or microencapsulated in a fat-soluble agent based on a fatty substance

The subject of the present invention is a soluble Cucumis melo protein extract having a superoxide dismutase enzyme activity greater than 30 units/mg of proteins as well as, preferably, a catalase enzyme activity greater than 45 units/mg of proteins. Preferably, the protein extract according to the invention is obtained from a Cucumis melo variety obtained by genetic crossing which has a shelf life of the order of 14 days such as the 95LS444 line or one of the hybrids obtained from this line. The subject of the invention is also the use for cosmetic purposes (skin ageing, hair care), medical purposes (anticancer agents for the digestive system, antioxidant), food purposes (replacement of synthetic antioxidants) and contains, as active ingredient, an optionally purified protein extract.
