Process development for maximum carotenoids extraction from pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) and its improvement through biogenesis manipulation

Pumpkin is a vegetable loaded with carotenoid compounds that can support healthy living due to its antioxidant properties. Pumpkin is abundantly planted in Malaysia, with estimation of productions from 3559 to 8058 metric tonnes per year. However, the research on its carotenoid compound has not rece...
