Some characteristics of pumpkins grown at different altitudes
View through CrossRef
According to the classification, the pumpkin belongs to the annual herbaceous, dicotyledonous, flowering plants of the Pumpkin family. Due to its unique taste and health properties, the pumpkin quickly spread throughout the continent. The use of pumpkins is determined by people's desire to consume healthy foods. Objective: Analysis of some characteristics of pumpkins grown at different altitudes. Research methods used: Systematic approach and critical analysis of the accessible scientific periodicals; Determination of moisture content, carotenoid content and total content carbohydrates, the total soluble solids, pectic substances and degree of esterification. Conclusions: The data obtained show that dry weight content and carbohydrate composition does not depend on altitude.
