A golden era—pro-vitamin A enhancement in diverse crops (2011, background): “Murkovic et al. (2002) investigated the carotenoid composition of 22 different varieties of pumpkin from three species (Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata, as well as a C. maxima×C. moschata hybrid) that are used mainly for food in Austria.”
Correlation Between L*a*b* Color Space Values and Carotenoid Content in Pumpkins and Squash (Cucurbita spp.) (2009, background): “…role in human health by acting as sources of provitamin A or by acting as protective antioxidants required for proper reproduction, growth, and development; a normal functioning ocular system; epithelial cell integrity; and immune system functionality (FAO/WHO, 2002; Murkovic and Neunteufl, 2002).”
A novel approach of LED light radiation improves the antioxidant activity of pea seedlings (2007, methodology): “Preparation of bcarotene stock solution (1000 lg/mL) was conducted following the method described by Murkovic et al. (2002) and the diluted stock solutions at various levels were used to construct the standard curve (r2 = 0.9993).”
