Abstract EN
The present study aims to investigate some physical attributes, total phenolics content, total flavonoids content, mineral composition, bioluminescence toxicity assay and antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH, HPS, TAC and FRAP assays in the kernel and pomace samples of six apricot cultivars grown in Balochistan, Pakistan.
TFC and TPC determined by the AlCl3 and Folin-Ciocalteu assays in apricot kernel extracts of six cultivars varied from 1797.5 (Chagali) to 4778.9 (Badoghur) mg QUE/100 g DW and from 1750.0 (Chagali) to 5005.8 (Badoghur) mg GAE/100 g DW.
Apricot kernels exhibited higher antioxidant activity than pomace; antioxidant activity in terms of IC50 in kernels ranged from 24.88 to 98.61 lg/ml for DPPH, 334.84 to 516.63 lg/ml for HPS, from 22.02 to 110.80 lg/ml for TAC and from 96.27 to 163.35 lg/ml for FRAP.
The apricot kernels showed higher TPC, TFC, bioluminescence toxicity to V.
logei and antioxidant activity than the pomace.
The correlation analysis demonstrated substantial contributions of polyphenols and flavonoids to antioxidant assays.
The sample type was the leading factor affecting the amounts of K, Na, Ca, Fe, and Mn in the tested samples; mineral contents were higher in pomace than kernels.
The high- est inhibition to V.
logei was found in the kernels of Badoghur (IC50 = 1.61 mg/ml).
The PCA analysis showed significant contributions of phenolic and flavonoid contents towards antioxidant biolumines- cence toxicity assays.
Our results suggest Badoghur, Shakarpara and Sardai kernels are rich sources of sec- ondary metabolites and possess remarkable antioxidant and antiluminescence activity and can make a significant contribution to the treatment and prevention of chronic health problems.
