Abstract

The study aimed to determine free radical scavenging activity, trace elements, and the heavy metals contents of the pigments extracted from Donax trunculus shells obtained at the Giresun the Black Sea coast. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by spectrophotometric DPPH and ABTS methods. Heavy metal and trace elements of the pigments were measured by ICP-MS. Pigments scavenged DPPH and ABTS radicals. On the other hand, it determined that the pigments had rich trace element concentrations (Fe 90.78 0.01 mg/kg; Cr 71.630.01; mg/kg, Mn 40.460.01 mg/kg; Zn 5.130.01 mg/kg; Cu 3.690.01 mg/kg; Se 1.220.01 mg/kg). Heavy metal content was within acceptable limits (Ni 4.280.03 mg/kg; Co 0.670.02 mg/kg; Pb 0.690.01 mg/kg; Cd 0.3880.01 mg/kg; As 0.2840.02 mg/kg). These results suggested that D. trunculus shells, considered food waste, would be a new bio-resource for obtaining natural antioxidants and micronutrients.

Giresun Sahilinden Toplanan Donax trunculus Kabuklarından Elde Edilen Pigmentlerin İz Element, Ağır Metal İçeriği ve Serbest Radikal Giderme Aktivitelerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Giresun’un Karadeniz kıyılarından toplanmış Donax trunculus kabuklarından elde edilen pigmentlerin serbest radikal temizleme aktivitesini, eser element ve ağır metal içeriklerini belirlemeyi amaçladı. Serbest radikal temizleme aktivitesi, spektrofotometrik DPPH ve ABTS yöntemleri ile belirlendi. Pigmentlerin ağır metal ve eser element içerikleri ICP-MS ile ölçüldü. Pigmentler DPPH ve ABTS radikallerini temizledi. Öte yandan pigmentlerin zengin eser element konsantrasyonlarına sahip olduğu belirlendi (Fe 90.78 0.01 mg/kg; Cr 71.630.01; mg/kg, Mn 40.460.01 mg/kg; Zn 5.130.01 mg/kg; Cu 3.690.01 mg/kg; Se 1.220.01 mg/kg). Ağır metal içeriği kabul edilebilir sınırlar içindeydi (Ni 4.280.03 mg/kg; Co 0.670.02 mg/kg; Pb 0.690.01 mg/kg; Cd 0.3880.01 mg/kg; As 0.2840.02 mg/kg). Bu sonuçlar, gıda atığı olarak kabul edilen D. trunculus kabuklarının, doğal antioksidanlar ve mikro besinler elde etmek için yeni bir biyolojik kaynak olacağını sergilemiştir.
