Most contrasting HPLC_DAD carotenoids profiles. Carotenoid profiles for 3 of the 4 most contrasting HPLC_DAD carotenoid profiles from a total of 23 landraces studied. Carotenoid profiles were obtained by HPLC_DAD using a C18 Waters Spherisorb ODS_2 (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 mm) column and mobile phase of Methanol: Ethyl Acetate: Acetonitrile (1:1:8) with a flow rate of 1 mL per minute during 60 min in an isocratic run. Carotenoid types were identified using reference profiles (Additional file 3: Figure S2) and standard profiles (Additional file 4: Figure S3)
