Abstract

Ethanol extracts of Sorbus aucuparia L. and Sorbus kusnetzovii Zinserl. fruits, belonging to the Rosaceae family, were obtained using an ultrasonic-assisted extraction method. The total phenolic contents of S. aucuparia and S. kusnetzovii were 8.44±0.66 mg GAE/g and 8.65±2.18 mg GAE/g, respectively, while their total flavonoid contents were 2.30±0.01 mg QE/g and 2.67±0.13 mg QE/g, respectively. The fruits’ DPPH values were measured as 9.59±0.00 mg TE/g and 9.28±0.05 mg TE/g, FRAP values as 9.51±0.42 mg TE/g and 13.38±0.52 mg TE/g, and CUPRAC values as 13.43±0.01 mg TE/g and 23.21±0.74 mg TE/g. Furthermore, both Sorbus species were found to have a rich mineral content. Therefore, it can be concluded that S. aucuparia and S. kusnetzovii fruits contain potent antioxidants, abundant phenolic compounds, and valuable minerals. Furthermore, they have significant potential as functional foods and are strong candidates for further clinical research.

SORBUS AUCUPARIA VE SORBUS KUSNETZOVII'DEN ELDE EDİLEN ETANOL EKSTRAKTLARININ ANTİOKSİDAN KAPASİTESİ, FENOLİK BİLEŞİK İÇERİĞİ VE MİNERAL KOMPOZİSYONU

Abstract

Rosaceae familyasına ait Sorbus aucuparia L. ve Sorbus kusnetzovii Zinserl. meyvelerinin etanol ekstraktları, ultrasonik destekli ekstraksiyon yöntemi kullanılarak elde edildi. S. aucuparia ve S. kusnetzovii'nin toplam fenolik içerikleri sırasıyla 8.44±0.66 mg GAE/g ve 8.65±2.18 mg GAE/g iken, toplam flavonoid içerikleri sırasıyla 2.30±0.01 mg QE/g ve 2.67±0.13 mg QE/g idi. Meyvelerin DPPH değerleri 9.59±0.00 mg TE/g ve 9.28±0.05 mg TE/g, FRAP değerleri 9.51±0.42 mg TE/g ve 13.38±0.52 mg TE/g ve CUPRAC değerleri 13.43±0.01 mg TE/g ve 23.21±0.74 mg TE/g olarak ölçüldü. Ayrıca, her iki Sorbus türünün de zengin mineral içeriğine sahip olduğu bulundu. Bu nedenle, S. aucuparia ve S. kusnetzovii meyvelerinin güçlü antioksidanlar, bol miktarda fenolik bileşik ve değerli mineraller içerdiği sonucuna varılabilir. Ayrıca, fonksiyonel gıda olarak önemli potansiyele sahiptirler ve daha ileri klinik araştırmalar için güçlü adaylardır.
