Antioxidant activity in cultivar types of tomato and bell pepper

Abstract

The high antioxidant content in fruits of tomato and sweet pepper is determined as a characteristic of nutritive value as well as medical purposes. The analyses snowed that the antioxidant activity was different in cultivars type of tomato and sweet pepper taken for testing. It was shown that the antioxidant activity in a fruit juice of sweet pepper was 2.5 times as much as in tomato juice. The maximum antioxidant activity was observed in hybrids with pink and crimson colored fruits such as N603, Galactika, and also inbred lines of pepper developed by inter-specific crossing of N624 and N1713.

“…Томат Lycopersicon esculentum L. из семейства Solanaceae, насчитывающий более 3000 видов [18] и содержащий много полезных для здоровья соединений, таких как аскорбиновая кислота [19], ликопин, β-каротин, флавоноид, антоцианин [20], используется как в свежем виде, так и в переработанном [21]. В работах [22,23] показано, что плоды томата обладают высокой антиоксидантной активностью, величина которой зависит от сорта.…”
