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 powerful technique for the characterization of phenolic and other polar compounds from a hydro-methanolic extract of watermelon. Thus, in the present work, 71 polar compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, iridoids, coumarins, lignan, and other phenolic derivatives have been detected and characterized by using MS and MS/MS data provided by the QTOF-MS, in addition to using the relevant literature on the same botanical family. Watermelon flesh was found to contain an array of diverse phytochemical components. These results indicate that watermelon offers a good source of natural phyto-components. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
