Differentiation of juice of mandarin-like hybrids based on physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant capacity

Abstract In this study, samples of mandarin-like hybrids (Clemenvilla, Nadorcott and Ortanique) from two harvesting seasons (2017−2018 2018−2019) were analyzed, to evaluate its differences in physicochemical characteristics nutritional properties establish the parameters that allow classify these citrus cultivars. Results showed Clemenvilla juice had highest concentration total phenolic ascorbic acid are strongly correlated higher antioxidant capacity. Flavonoids samples. Large carotenoids observed analyzed. Varieties significantly influenced ( p < 0.05) properties, bioactive compounds content capacity The pH, flavonoids, acid, DPPH TEAC values determined as predictor groups according varieties, concluding clearly different. data presented research will currently provide information about evaluation hybrid varieties their potential source
