Our prevalence of thyroid dysfunction are compatible most studies world wide (2.1% for hypothyroidism and 3.4% hyperthyroidism). Prevalence of goitre is 9.3% and thyroid nodule is 3.6%. There may be pockets of iodine deficiency which contributes to goitre in rural areas. Goitre in the coastal areas are likely autoimmune. Large proportion of the pop

This study aimed to extract carotenoids from pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) by using food grade solvents (ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetic acid and virgin coconut oil). The influence of different extraction conditions; temperature of extraction (15, 30 and 45℃), duration of extraction (12, 18 and 24 h) and solid to solvent ratio (1:50, 1:100 and 1:15

In nature, environmental factors highly influence the carotenoid composition in pumpkin plants and these factors were difficult to control; thus, carotenoid content is varied quantitatively and qualitatively. However, certain parameters can be controlled and this can be conducted in the laboratory through biogenesis manipulation. This approach uses

The aim of this study was to observe the effect of abiotic stress under light and dark conditions on pumpkin calluses carotenoid. Plant elicitors used to create abiotic stress in this study were Polyethylene Glycol 4000 for drought stress, Jasmonic Acid and Salicylic Acid for hormones stress and Murashige and Skoog Salt for control and half strengt
