TLC optimizations of the solvent system in identification of lycopene from local watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai) crude extract / Nurafiqah Shukor

Citrullus lanatus are good source of fibre and also rich in phytonutrients namely lycopene which is believed to have the ability of reducing the risks of many disease, producing collagen and as a protection for oxidative damage because. Because of the increasing trend of lycopene estimation as one o...
