Theobjective of thisstudyis to investigate the phenotypic and biochemicalparameters of selectedsweet cherry (Prunus avium) from middle region of Morocco. Themain biochemical composition, contentsof total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins and antioxidant activity, were measured in the fruits of four sweet cherry cultivars (ʻBurlat’, ʻVan’, ʻNapoleon’andʻCerisette’) grown in two locations (“Laanoceur”and “Toufselt”) in the MiddleAtlas. The free radical scavenging activity was evaluated spectrophotometrically using 1,1‒diphenyl‒2‒picrylhydrazine (DPPH)and ABTS assay.The fruit weight, and pulppercentagewerestudied and found to range between 237–329 g, 38.14–42.22%, 39.21–44.36g, and 52.27–57.48%, respectively.The total phenolic and total anthocyanin content rangedfrom305.99 and 306.67 mg EqGal/100g D.W, total flavonoid contents were within the range of 481.73-517.67 mgeqRE/100g D.W, and total anthocyanin contents were between 1.09 and 2.89 mg Eqcyanidin 3-glucoside/100g D.W. Antioxidant activity ranged from 17.18 to 18.11 mg EqTrolox/100g D.W for DPPH assayand from 27.97 to 29.60 mg EqTrolox/100f D.W for ABTS method.The highest values of total anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity (DPPH) were recorded in ʻBurlat’. The highest value of total flavonoid content was found in ʻCerisette’. Cherries from “Laanoceur”and “Toufselt” locations are characterized by similar biochemical composition and antioxidant activity, except for total anthocyanin content that shows slightly elevated values in “Laanoceur”. The close correlation between total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities (r2=0.73) show that antioxidant activity of cherry fruit depends on total polyphenols.

Biological And Medical Applications

Currently, there have been lots of interests in phytochemicals as bioactive components. The roles of fruit, vegetables, and red pigments in preventing diseases have been partly accredited to the antioxidant properties of their constituent polyphenols, flavonoid, anthocyanins, and etc. Biochemistry parameters including the relative levels of antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid, total anthocyanin, soluble and insoluble sugar content of Ribes khorasanicum, have been calculated in this project. The total anthocyanin content of the investigated Ribes khorasanicum measured to be 62.9 mg/g in dry weight, while displaying high levels when compared to other components, which indicates that the anthocyanin content was the predominant antioxidant components in the investigated plant. This particular plant has the potential to serve as the important source of antioxidant that can be utilized in different biological and medical applications.

Comprehensive Comparison

Commercial blueberry production has been a viable industry throughout the world for 95 years; because of blueberry is a good source of antioxidant. Blueberries are especially rich in anthocyanin, a flavonoid with potent antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to compare the phenolic quantities, antioxidant activities, anthocyanin, sugar and phenolic compounds of blueberries produced in Turkey with those of similar blueberry varieties produced around the world. As a result of the conducted analysis, the total phenolic content (TPC) amount found in the berries was 77.26-215.12 mg GAE/100 g, the total flavonoid content (TFC) was 30.44-91.69 mg QE/100 g and the total anthocyanin content (TAC) was 43.03-295.06 mg c3-GE/100 g. Examining the antioxidant activities of the berries, DPPH between 1.10-5.65 mg/ml, FRAP between 454.93-36832.96 µmol troloks/100 g, β-Carotene between 40.66-86.48%. It was determined that the natural berries contained much more phenolic compounds and higher antioxidant activity than that of the cultivars The result of HPLC analysis, chlorogenic acid is determined to be the dominant compound in all berries. Furthermore, fructose and glucose are found in all fruits in different quantities while sucrose is found in certain varieties of berries as well. At the end of the performed study the data indicate that wild and cultivars of blueberries are rich sources of antioxidants for local as well international industries importing this fruit for food processing and enormous products.

Hu, C., Tsao, R., Liu, R., Sullivan, J. A. and McDonald, M. R. 2012. Influence of cultivar and year on phytochemical and antioxidant activity of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Ontario. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 485–493. Phytochemicals in coloured vegetables are responsible not only for the colour, but also for nutritional quality. In this study 11 cultivars of potato, with a wide range of skin and flesh colours, grown over two years were tested for the total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin-content (TAC) and total antioxidant activity (TAA). Results showed significant variations among cultivars for both years. TPC was 1.2–3.6 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) g−1 dry weight (DW) in 2008 and 0.98–2.81 mg GAE g−1 DW in 2009. Total anthocyanin content was 0.70–1.92 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent (Cy3g E) in 2008 and 0.05 –1.52 mg Cy3g E g−1 DW in 2009, respectively. The TAA also varied among different potato cultivars, with values of 12 to 64 and 6.3 to 20 µmol ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE) g−1 DW in 2008 and 2009, respectively for the FRAP (ferric reducing/antioxidant power) assay, and from 42 to 168 and 75 to 174 µmol trolox equivalents (TE) g−1 DW in 2008 and 2009 in the ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) assay, respectively. The purple fleshed tubers, such as ‘Mackintosh Black’, demonstrated the highest antioxidant activities, indicating that anthocyanins are important antioxidants. Our results suggest that purple/red potato cultivars have a greater potential as functional foods for enhanced human health benefits.

The effect of fungicides on fermentation is of paramount importance to control the quality and safety of wines. In this work, the quality (enological parameters, color, phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and fungicide residues) of wines from Monastrell grapes fortified with iprovalicarb, mepanipyrim, and tetraconazole fungicides was evaluated. Along the winemaking process, initial residues of mepanipyrim and tetraconazole were removed in more than 90% while the dissipation of iprovalicarb was around 73%. Significant statistical differences were found in the presence of iprovalicarb and mepanipyrim residues, especially at the highest concentration assayed. For both fungicides, increases in the volatile acidity (between 4 and 8.6 times), the lactic acid content (between 8.6 and 20.5 times), the percentage of polymeric anthocyanins (between 1.3 and 1.7 times), and also a slight increase of the total phenolic index and the total anthocyanin content determined by spectrophotometry were observed. On the contrary, the total monomeric anthocyanins content decreased about 16.3% and 28.6% in the presence of iprovalicarb and mepanipyrim, respectively. These results could be related to a higher development of acetic acid or lactic bacteria in the presence of these fungicides. The color of the final wines was also different in comparison with the control, with a higher yellow component, color intensity, tonality, and hue angle because of pH changes in the medium. Tetraconazole fermentations had a more similar trend to the control wine, probably due to the lower concentration of this fungicide in the grape must at the initial time. No effects on the antioxidant activity was observed for any of the target fungicides. A multivariate statistical analysis was done to view the interrelationships between different variables (color and anthocyanins profile). The obtained model allowed the wines to be separated according to the fungicide treatment applied.

This work studied the effects of centrifugal block freeze crystallization (CBFC) on physicochemical parameters, total phenolic compound content (TPCC), antioxidant activity (AA), and process parameters applied to fresh murta and arrayan juices. In the last cycle, for fresh murta and arrayan juices, the total soluble solids (TSS) showed values close to 48 and 54 Brix, and TPCC exhibited values of approximately 20 and 66 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 grams dry matter (d.m.) for total polyphenol content, 13 and 25 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents/100 grams d.m. for total anthocyanin content, and 9 and 17 mg quercetin equivalents/100 grams d.m. for total flavonoid content, respectively. Moreover, the TPCC retention indicated values over 78% for murta juice, and 82% for arrayan juice. Similarly, the AA presented an increase over 2.1 times in relation to the correspondent initial AA value. Thus, the process parameters values were between 69% and 85% for efficiency, 70% and 88% for percentage of concentrate, and 0.72% and 0.88 (kg solutes/kg initial solutes) for solute yield. Therefore, this work provides insight about CBFC on valuable properties in fresh Patagonian berries juices, for future applications in health and industrial scale.

Sweet Cherry Cultivars

The goal of the present work was to compare different sweet and sour cherry cultivars and cultivation methods (bio/integrated) with respect to polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. The concentration of total polyphenols ranged between 880–1050 mg kg-1 of fresh fruit, whereas antioxidant activity expressed as TEAC was found to be between 5.4 and 10.3 mmol kg-1 for the sweet cherry cultivars examined. In case of sour cherry the level of polyphenols ranged between 1283 and 3490 mg/kg fresh edible part of the fruit. Antioxidant activity was recorded between 15–32 mmol kg-1 for the different sour cherry cultivars included in this work. After one-month storage at low temperature, the total phenols and antioxidant activity decreased by 2–40% in the sour cherry cultivars studied. The anthocyanin content in cherry cultivars was less (131–312 mg kg-1) than the135–1893 mg kg-1 found in sour cherries. Anthocyanin level was higher in samples produced under organic farming conditions than in those produced with integrated cultivation.
