Quantification of known and unknown chromatographic peak in fresh raw pumpkins. For each peak determination was reported: as absolute quantification ($\mathsf{\mu }$g/g of fresh matter), by using external calibration curve of lutein (peaks from 1 to 5) and of $\beta$-carotene (peaks 6 to 11); as relative quantification in terms of peak area%.
