Identification of carotenoid composition in selected 'ulam' or traditional vegetables in Malaysia

Ulam or traditional vegetables in Malaysia comprise more than 120 species representing various families ranging from groundcovers, shrubs to trees. The leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits, roots and rhizomes of the vegetables are eaten fresh as salad or cooked and are consumed to add variety and flavo...
