Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus (formerly Citrullus vulgaris), is a natural and rich source of the phytochemical compounds. In this regard, the use of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray–quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–QTOF–MS) has shown to be a power...
