Abstract
The bright yellow flowers are edible pumpkin - a good source of antioxidant compounds . The maximum level of hydroxycinnamic acids noted in the half parted flower . The remaining components were studied at the maximum in the unopened buds . By the beginning of the flower opens flavonoids and carotenoids concentration decreased gradually . In full disclosure of the flower phase of the content of these components increases again, but it did not reach the initial level. A similar, but less pronounced trend of the observed and chlorophyll .
