“…However, there were nonsignificant differences between the two studied fruits in their contents of copper and manganese. Gorinstein et al(2001) reported that, whole persimmon fruit contained 254, 8.22 and 9.35 mg/100g fresh weight of K, Mg and Ca, respectively. While Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu recorded 101.4, 107.1, 13.9 and 9.76 mg/100g of fresh fruit, respectively.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the proximate chemical composition, minerals content, some vitamins, sugars composition, flavonoids content as well as phenols content of whole persimmon and husk tomato fruits. The results indicated that, husk tomato has higher amounts of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and ash compared with persimmon fruits. Iron (Fe) was the most predominant of micro-elements found in persimmon and husk tomato. Persimmon fruits contained much more Vit. K content compared with husk tomato fruits. Glucose, arabinose, xylose, glactose and fructose were the predominant sugars of both of persimmon and husk tomato fruits. The major flavonoids of persimmon fruits were narengin, luteolin, hesperidin, quercetrin and rosmarinic acid, while it were rosmarinic acid, luteolin, rutin, querectin and narengin in husk tomato fruits.Regarding to phenolic compounds, pyrogallol was the major phenolics in both of persimmon and husk tomato followed by catechen in persimmon and benzoic acid in husk tomato. Keywords: Persimmon, husk tomato, phenols, flavonoids, vitamins. 1-IntroductionThe health promoting potentials associated with their consumption are mainly due to presence of bioactive components and these phytochemicals are distinct bioactive molecules widely acknowledged for their beneficial roles in human physiology (Manach et al., 2004).Phytochemicals are biologically active, naturally occurring chemical composition found in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, tea and seeds that promote human health and prevent diseases. The abundance of scientific evidence indicates that such bioactive compounds have biological properties such as antioxidant activity, antimicrobial effect, modulation of detoxification enzymes, stimulation of the immune system, decrease of platelet aggregation and modulation of hormone metabolism and anticancer property (Wavinya et al., 2016).Phytochemicals are not essential nutrient and are not required by the human body for sustaining life, but have important properties to prevent or to fight some common diseases (Holst and Williamson, 2008).Persimmon (Diospyros Kaki L.) is fleshy fibrous tropical, deciduous fruit belonging to Ebenceal family. It is commonly cultivated in warm regions of the world including China, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Turkey and Italy (Itamura et al., 2005 ;Yokozawa et al., 2007). Mediterranean region is also suitable for persimmon production (Luo, 2007;Bubba et al., 2009). Persimmon is prominent for its nutrition comprising about 80.3% water, 0.58% protein, 0.19% total lipids, 18.6% total carbohydrates and up to 1.48 g and 7.5 mg total dietary fiber Rashwan, et al., 2017 http://ajas.js.iknito.com/ 103 and ascorbic acid, respectively (Achiwa et al., 1997;Ozen et al., 2004 andErcisli et al., 2007). Persimmon is naturally bestowed with bioactive molecules including proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolis, carotenoids and dietary fiber (Butt et al., 2015).Husk tomato fruit (Physalis pubescens L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family. It is native ...

Black currant contain significant amounts of minerals and vitamins that are associated with an improved health status. The effect of three soil management system (bare fallow, sawdust mulch and black foil mulch) on the content of vitamins and minerals in the fruits of seven black currant cultivars ('Ben Lomond', 'Ben Sarek', 'Titania', 'Čačanska Crna', 'Tisel', 'Tiben' and 'Tsema') was analyzed. HPLC-DAD (high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector) technique was used to define the vitamins A, B 1 , B 2 and B 3 . Vitamin C were evaluated using a spectrometer, whereas the mineral content of the fruit was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Significant differences in the minerals and vitamins content were detected among the cultivars. The berries of black currants are rich in mineral composition, especially potassium, phosphours, sodium, calcium and magnesium as well as iron. Also, black currant is an important source of vitamin C and, to a lesser amount vitamins A and B 3 . Soil management systems showed highly significant differences in some the tested parameters. Black currants grown on black foil mulch gave the highest levels of K, P and Na, and those on sawdust mulch had a high content of vitamins C, A and B 3 . On the other hand, soil management system had no pronounced effect on the other vitamins and minerals analyzed. This study demonstrates degree of differences in the amount vitamins and mineral elements depending on the different soil management systems and climatic factors.

“…Though persimmon peel (PP) is rich in carotenoids and polyphenols rather than persimmon pulp [2], the peel is discarded during production of dried fruit. It has been reported that PP components have beneficial effects such as antioxidant activity [3][4][5], and tyrosinase inhibiting activity (whitening activity) [6].…”

Abstract:Role of persimmon (Diospyros kaki, Thunb 'Saijo') peel was investigated on developing atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-deficient mice with emphasis on lipid metabolism, physio-biological oxidation, production of related atherogenic autoantigens, and production of anti-atherogenic natural antibodies. Male LDLRdeficient mice were fed high fat diet or high fat diet supplemented with 10% dried and powdered persimmon peel (PP) for 12 weeks. PP supplementation significantly prevented the increment of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels. High fat diet feeding increased plasma level of oxidized LDL/β2-glycoprotein I (oxLDL/β2GPI) complexes regarded as an atherogenic autoantigen, while PP supplementation significantly blocked the increment (p<0.05). After a 12-week feeding, atherosclerotic plaques in mice fed with diet supplemented with PP decreased by 70% as compared to that of mice fed the high fat diet (p<0.005). PP feeding also reduced urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B 2 , a stable metabolite of the platelet activation marker thromboxane A 2 , but level of IgM anti-oxLDL antibodies was not changed. Thus, these results obviously demonstrate that persimmon peel may have an anti-atherogenic property through normalization of lipid metabolism and reduced production of the atherogenic complexes.
