Title Of Article :
Determination of Bioactive Compounds and Total Antioxidant Capacity in Apple Varieties Grown in Ardahan Region
Abstract :
In this study, total phenol content, total anthocyanin content, ˚Brix, pH, titrable acidity, total ascorbic acid content and antioxidant capacity in the 26 apple cultivars cultivated in Ardahan City were determined and nutritional value of the apples were revealed. The varieties with high brix content and low acidity were determined as Şah Elması and Dervişbey, the cultivar with low brix content and high acidity was determined as Mahara. It was determined that the bio-active component content and fruit quality of Limon Elması and Yabani Elma were lower compared to the other cultivars. Uruset cultivar with red penetralia was determined to be richer in terms of total phenol content, anthocyanin content and antioxidant capacity compared to the other cultivars and the Mahara cultivar was determined to be richer in terms of ascorbic acid content compared to the other cultivars. Consequently, it was revealed that the cultivars cultivated in the region have high nutritional value and antioxidant capacity. In this respect it is suggested to consume those especially with their peels on as a functional food resource due to the healthy compounds they contain.
