“…Also, results from more studies reported that clones (genotypes) of the 'Red Delicious' group had smaller to moderate TA contents (Koukourikou-Petridou et al, 2007;Ahmed et al, 2013;Milošević et al, 2018). In general, our range of TA values was within the range determined by other researchers (Sasnauskas et al, 2007;Nour et al, 2010;Contessa and Botta, 2016).…”

“…The comparison of the TPC and TFC values obtained in the present study with those of other studies suggests similar trends although differences in the units used and analytical methods employed make a direct comparison difficult (Drogoudi et al, 2008). For example, the edible part of peeled apple fruits contained TPC between 31.42 and 90.12 mg GAE 100 g -1 fw (Contessa and Botta, 2016), whereas Kähkönen et al (1999) reported 12 mg GAE 100 g -1 dw in the flesh of an unspecified cultivar. However, higher contents of phenolic compounds in the peel than the flesh were also reported by other researchers (Wolfe et al, 2003;Chinnici et al, 2004;Leccese et al, 2009;Milošević et al, 2018).…”

“…Ahmed et al (2013) reported the values of vitamin C in fruits of 'Red Delicious' on MM.111 between 6.98% ('Red Chief') and 7.83% ('Starking Delicious'). In addition, ancient or old apples are richer in vitamin C and phenolic compounds than newly bred and/or commercial apples, but generally depending on the genetics of cultivar, fruit position in the trees, fruit size, fruit skin colour and maturity stage (Contessa and Botta, 2016). Interestingly, the flesh of 'Hapke' on M.26 had better TAC values than the peel of fruits of this cultivar on M.9 T337.…”

During two consecutive years (2018 and 2019) we investigated the effect of two clonal rootstocks on fruit weight, contents of some non-nutrients and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the flesh and peel of cv. 'Hapke' apple. Results showed that fruit weight was significantly higher on M.9 T337 than on M.26 rootstock and similar in both 2018 and 2019. M.26 rootstock significantly improved titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C content, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and TAC in comparison with M.9 T337. As regards fruit tissue, the peel was a significantly better source of acids, vitamin C and phenolic compounds, and had higher antioxidant capacity than the flesh. However, the rootstock  fruit tissue interaction for the content of phenolic compounds indicated the complex nature of accumulation and distribution of acidity, vitamin C and phenolic compounds in apples.

“…Apple titratable acidity values in various researches range from 0.18 to -0.52 g malic acid equivalent 100 mg -1 in different commercial and red-fleshed apple cultivars [Vieira et al 2009a, Piagentini andPirovani 2017], while the value of the titratable acidity of apple used in our research was 2.21 g malic acid equivalent 100 g -1 FW. Similarly, the pH values of apples determined in most research works falls between 3.05 and 4.25 [Rupasinghe et al 2010, Vieira et al 2009a, Wu et al 2007, Contessa and Botta 2016, but in Malus floribunda coccinella fruit, the pH value was found to be 2.89. Table 2 represents the organic acids and sugars found in Malus floribunda coccinella fruit.…”

“…The value of malic acid determined in our research was found to be 25.394 g kg -1 FW. However, the value of malic acid identified in commercial apples in other researches varies between 0.5-18.9 g kg -1 [Ma et al 2015, Contessa andBotta 2016]. Therefore, it can be concluded that the concentration of malic acid in Malus floribunda coccinella fruit is higher than the other apples used in various studies.…”

Malus floribunda coccinella is a landscape tree that is generally planted for its pinky flowers and small reddish fruits. The red-fleshed fruits, called crab apples, are rich in anthocyanins and are assumed as an environmental pollution material during the fruit bearing season. The aims of this research were to determine the organic acids, sugars, sugar:acid ratio, color, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the fruit and also to identify the phenolic compounds, monomeric anthocyanins content and antioxidant activities in the peel, flesh and whole fruit. Malic acid (25.394 g kg-1 FW) was the main organic acid of the fruit. In fruits, amounts of sucrose, glucose and fructose were found to be 0.497, 0.504 and 4.334 g 100 g-1 FW, respectively. Highest total phenolic concentration and antioxidant activity values were observed in the peel among the fractions, while protocatechuic and cinnamic acids, rutin, isorhamnetin-3-glucoside, quercetin, procyanidin B1, (+)-catechin and cyanidin-3-galactoside were predominant phenolics of the peel. Highest amounts of chlorogenic acid and (-)-epicatechin were determined in the flesh. Cyanidin-3-galactoside concentration in the flesh was approximately half the amount of that in the peel.

Evaluation of the phenolic profile and immunoreactivity of Mal d 3 allergen in ancient apple cultivars from Italy

et al. 2020

BACKGROUND Since the second half of the 20th century, the cultivation of ancient and local apple cultivars has almost disappeared from orchards in Italy. Some of these ancient apple cultivars often possess high nutraceutical values and display lower allergenicity than the modern ones, supporting the so‐called ‘green revolution’ theory. RESULTS In this study, the phenolic composition and the antioxidant activity of five ancient apple cultivars (‘Belfiore’, ‘Pomella Genovese’, ‘Gravenstein’, ‘Bella del Bosco’, and ‘Piatlin’) were compared with a ‘Golden Delicious’ commercial cultivar. Additionally, apples were tested for their potential allergenicity by detecting the presence of Mal d 3, a non‐specific lipid transfer protein that represents the main apples' allergen. All apples came from northern Italy (Trentino Region) and were organically produced. Results showed that, for all cultivars, the skins contained more polyphenols than the pulps. ‘Bella del Bosco’ had the highest amount of polyphenols and antioxidant activity, whereas ‘Piatlin’ had the lowest phenolic content. All ancient cultivars presented a higher amount of pulp phenolic compounds than ‘Golden Delicious’. Immunoblotting techniques showed that ‘Bella del Bosco’ and ‘Piatlin’ had very low quantities of Mal d 3 allergen; hence, they can be considered hypoallergenic cultivars. CONCLUSIONS The preservation of ancient apple cultivars would be of great importance, not only to maintain the biodiversity but also for their nutritional properties. The hypoallergenic activity of some of these cultivars could be of interest also for the preparation of different apple‐based products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
