The carotenoid and provitamin A content of the watermelon [PDF]
, 1941 10 years ago lycopene, C40H56, and carotene, C40H56, were isolated from the pulp of the European watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris, Schrad. = Cucumis citrullus, L.) by Zechmeister and Tuzson (l), and it was shown that the chief pigment, lycopene, is ...

Provitamin A carotenoids from an engineered high-carotenoid maize are bioavailable and zeaxanthin does not compromise β-carotene absorption in poultry [PDF]
, 2017 High-carotenoid (HC) maize, a biofortified staple crop which accumulates β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, was used as a feed component in a chicken feeding trial to assess the bioavailability of provitamin A (PVA) carotenoids in the ...

Carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening is modulated by the auxin-ethylene balance [PDF]
, 2015 Background : Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by ethylene and is characterized by a shift in color from green to red, a strong accumulation of lycopene, and a decrease in β-xanthophylls and chlorophylls.
