Variations in antioxidant capacity of nectarine fruits (Prunus persica cv. red-gold) affected by harvest date
Authors
Abstract:
The influence of harvesting date on some physicochemical properties of nectarine (Prunus persica var. Red gold) fruit including fruit weight, pigment content, total carbohydrate, total phenol and antioxidant activity were studied. Fruits were harvested in four different stages; a) two weeks after fruit set, b) pit hardening, c) three weeks after pit hardening and 6 weeks after pit hardening. Results showed that the heaviest fruit either wet or dry was observed in the last harvesting date. The reduction in sucrose at the final harvest might be due to conversion to monosaccharides like fructose or glucose. On the other hand, although the content of total phenolic and flavonoid content of fruits were significantly reduced in the last harvest, no significant reduction was observed in their antioxidant activity. Generally, it can be concluded that compounds like anthocyanin, carotenoids and vitamin C play important role in antioxidant activity in ripened nectarine fruit and their content differ in different harvest times.

Evaluation of Antioxidant Compounds and Total Sugar Content in a Nectarine [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] Progeny
Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of fruit rich in phenolic compounds is associated with health-protective effects due to their antioxidant properties. For these reasons quality evaluation has become an important issue in fruit industry and in breeding programs. Phytochemical traits such as total phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, L-ascorbic acid, sugar content and relative ant...

The amount of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was measured in peach fruits by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selective ion monitoring using an isotope dilution assay with [(13)C(6)]IAA as an internal standard throughout the growing season. Ethylene evolution of the fruit was also measured. IAA levels were 25 nanograms per gram fresh weight, 18 days after anthesis. Both IAA levels and rates of ...
