Abstract:

 


In this study, vitamin A (390 ïg), C (7,70 mg), E (2,75 mg), B1 (0,31 mg), B2 (0,80 mg), B6 (0,84 mg), niasin (2,10 mg), folate (24,75 ïg) and some organic acid concentrations including malic (158 mg), lactic (126 mg), sitric (44 mg), fumaric (1,64) and quinic acids (non-detectable) in 100 gr dry weigth were analysed in the fruits of Prunus spinosa subsp. dasyphllum. The valuable contents of the vitamins based on % daily value were obtained with comparison of the recommended intakes for indivuduals in life stage groups according to dietary reference intakes (FAO/DRIs). Concentration profile of the vitamins compared to the values of the life stage groups were also significantly correlated in general. Investigated traits in the fruits of Prunus spinosa subsp. dasyphllum may be significant to explain the chemotaxonomic and evolutional characteristics as additional parameters and its alternative natural product potential as vegetable genetic resources in the genepool of Anatolia.
