Investigation of Flower Yield and Quality in Different Color Safflower Genotypes

The present study was carried out to determine variations in flower and dye yield chemical contents of safflower genotypes with different colors 2017–2018. dyestuff yields the genotype ranged between 6.6–12.0 kg da−1 218.1–421.7 g da−1, respectively. TPC high antioxidant capacity values were listed according color as yellow > orange red white. Gallic, rosmarinic chlorogenic acid higher orange-flowered genotypes, kaempferol red-flowered catechin orange-flowered. oil content 4.32–6.12%. In flowers, linoleic 32.77–48.27%, α-linolenic 1.85–3.38% γ-linolenic 14.76–18.50%. According Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME) technique; main scent molecules flowers β-caryophyllene, α-pinene, 1-tetradecene, β-cedrene, α-cedrene β-myrcene. C* value positively correlated total phenolic both years, C showed activity. Askon-42 can be recommended for yield, among US-10 For further research, it will guide use colored extracts, which are natural sources, cosmetic products.
