Sugars, organic acids, and total phenolic content in fruit of 25 wild cultivated berry species were identified quantified with high-performance liquid chromatograph. The composition sugars, compounds various Vaccinium, Rubus, Ribes, Fragaria genus was evaluated. Additonally, phenolics less known the Morus, Amelanchier, Sorbus, Sambucus, Rosa, Lycium, Actinidia, Aronia determined growing as well fruits. Significant differences concentration sugars acids detected among species. Glucose...
Fresh figs were subjected to two different drying processes: sun-drying and oven-drying. To assess their effect on the nutritional health-related properties of figs, sugars, organic acids, single phenolics, total antioxidant activity determined before after processing. Samples analyzed three times in a year, phenolic compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). In monomer sugars predominate, which is important information, content as well...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Phenolics in fruit may be influenced by the type, cultivation conditions of a plant, climatic conditions, growing season, storage and industrial processing. The aim this study was to compare single phenolic compounds, total phenolics antioxidant capacity four varieties apple grown under organic integrated over 2‐year period. RESULTS: Several different compounds belonging groups hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols, dihydrochalcones, flavonols anthocyanins were quantified....
As a part of the ongoing interest in nutritional and nutraceutical properties locally produced fruits, aim article was to determine sugars, organic acids, polyphenols antioxidant capacity wild bilberries grown Slovenia. Primary secondary metabolite composition bilberry fruit compared among six phyto-climatic conditions, differing photosynthetic active radiation light intensity.Three sugars were quantified fruit, predominant being fructose glucose, along with five acids. Bilberry contained...
A total of four Capsicum annuum L. genotypes ('Caro F1', 'Berenyi 'Somborka' and 'Novosadka') were exposed to two intensities salt stress. We observed a significant decrease in the sugar content all stressed treatments, except for sucrose pericarp 'Caro F1' cultivar. Salt stress had largely negative effect on individual organic acid content, although differed among cultivars. Using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer, most phenolics identified (18), followed...
The contents of sugars, organic acids, total phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity were quantified in flesh red beet from conventional (CON), integrated (INT), (ORG), biodynamic (BD), control farming systems using established methods. Significant differences measured for malic acid, content (TPC), activity, where acid ranged 2.39 g kg−1 FW (control) to 1.63 (CON, ORG, INT). highest TPC was BD samples (0.677 0.672 mg GAE g−1, respectively), lowest CON (0.511 g−1). Antioxidant...
Abstract: The potential effect of skin removal and roasting on individual total phenolic content, antioxidative 6 hazelnut cultivars were investigated. HPLC‐MS identification phenolics confirmed the presence 7 flavan‐3‐ols (catechin, epicatechin, 2 procyanidin dimers, 3 trimers), flavonols (quercetin pentoside, quercetin‐3‐ O ‐rhamnoside, myricetin‐3‐ ‐rhamnoside), hydrobenzoic acids (gallic acid, protocatechulic acid), 1 dihydrochalcone (phloretin‐2′‐ ‐glucoside). Flavonols only detected in...
Fruits of Lapins sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) from 12-year-old trees on different rootstocks (F 12/1, Maxma 14, Piku 1, Edabriz, Gisela 5, 195/20, Weiroot 13, 158, and 72) were analyzed for pomological (fruit weight, % flesh fruit soluble solids content, titratable acidity, firmness) biochemical parameters (individual sugars, organic acids, phenolic compounds) considering yield. For the first time, two procyanidins have been identified in cherries using HPLC/MS: procyanidin B2 dimer...
A total of 19 different anthocyanins have been detected in four elderberry species and eight hybrids quantified with the use HPLC–MSn. The profile content levels varied considerably among analyzed hybrids. Cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside cyanidin-3-O-glucoside were most abundant Sambucus nigra fruits. On other hand, prevalent anthocyanin S. javanica was identified as cyanidin-3-(E)-p-coumaroyl-sambubioside-5-glucoside. highest (TAA) determined berries interspecific hybrid × racemosa, followed by...
The focus of our study was to investigate the effect crop load on accumulation and composition primary metabolites (sugars organic acids), selected groups flavonoids (anthocyanins flavonols), total phenolics in two subsequent years four black currant cultivars ('Titania', 'Triton', 'Tsema', 'Cacanska crna') three red ('Junifer', 'Rolan', 'Stanza'). For determination quantification compounds, high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array with a mass spectrometer used. Significant...
Berry fruit is known for its high contents of various bioactive compounds. The latter constitute anthocyanins, flavonols and flavanols posses antioxidative activity. highly dynamic antioxidant system can be evaluated in vitro vivo several model organisms. These measurements represent a good approximation the real potential compounds cells higher eucarions. aim study was thus to determine activity different berry juices, which reportedly contain amounts phenolics.Five species were collected...
Abstract The distribution of betalains in peel, flesh, and petioles yellow red beetroot cultivars has been investigated using an High‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system with electrospray mass spectrometry. Differences the levels betacyanins betaxanthins between different colored were individually determined for 3 plant parts. content almost all analyzed compounds decreased following order: peel > flesh petiole. Betanin/isobetanin pigments comprised a major portion relative...
Abstract Twenty-one different cultivars from four species were examined. The highest dry weight was present in seeds (between 35 and 50%) the average water content 60%. Placenta pericarp contained on 86% water. Total sugars variation between most concentrated various cultivar pericarps ascorbic acid ranging 368.1 to 2105.6 mg/100 g DW citric 1464.3 9479.9 DW. phenolic ranged 2599.1 ‘Chilli AS- Rot’ 7766.7 'Carolina Reaper'. placenta had 23.5 times higher than seeds. C. chinense × frutescens...
Algal biostimulants are increasingly integral to vegetable cultivation due their capacity boost yield, alleviate abiotic and biotic stress, enhance overall crop quality. This study evaluated the impact of two commercially available algal-based on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), examining effects number fruits, dry weight, color, flesh thickness, skin plastid pigments, tocopherol content. Both biostimulant treatments resulted in a roughly 13% decrease yield fruit compared control treatment....
Color components, antioxidative potential, and total phenolic content were monitored in elderberry must wine. Among individual compounds, quercetin kaempferol acids, anthocyanins detected with high performance liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Conventional enological parameters measured wine compared to grape other fruit wines. Elderberry has a moderate ethanol concentration, intense red coloration, higher pH value most Total of ranged up 2004.13 GAE L−1. Antioxidative...
Leaves of the scab-susceptible apple (Malus domestica) cultivar Golden Delicious were harvested from May to August 2008 and 2009. Some leaves healthy some infected with fungus Venturia inaequalis. The phenolic compounds analysed in leaves, scab spot tissue. In comparison showed higher contents hydroxycinnamic acid, flavanols phloridzin, while lower on procyanidins, quercetins phloretin. total amount tissue was 10 20 % than leaves. Accumulation is a post-infection response, probably their...
