“…Our results showed that TP content in different apricot cultivars varied between 0.45 and 1.10 mg GA g -1 FW: this is in the same value range that Caliskan et al (2012) reported for some Turkish apricot varieties. Akin et al (2008) reported higher phenolic compound content (42.33-81.80 mg GA g -1 DW) in apricot fruit.…”

“…Some apricot cultivars have recently been evaluated for their antioxidant profile, suggesting their health-promoting effects in the human diet (Leccese et al, 2010). Antioxidant compounds, such as carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C, have been reported in high amounts in apricot fruit (Drogoudi et al, 2008;Dragovic-Uzelac et al, 2009;Hegedüs et al, 2011;Sochor et al, 2011;Caliskan et al, 2012;Fan et al, 2018;Fratianni et al, 2018).…”

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is a fruit tree species widespread in Europe due to the high nutritional value of its fruit. In this study, the changes in the chemical composition of seven apricot cultivars were studied during three fruit ripening stages. Proximate composition (water content, ash, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates) was determined by official AOAC methods, macro-and microelements (potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe)) were detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), while antioxidant capacity and total phenolic compounds were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Vitamin C content was determined by titration using 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol dye. The present research highlighted the variation between chemical composition as related to variety and stage of maturity. Protein and moisture of apricot fruit decreased during the different ripening stages in all cultivars, while lipids, carbohydrates, and ash content increased during ripening. The water content ranged from 79.87% to 88.6%, protein between 0.66% and 1.3%, and lipids between 0.1% and 0.57%. Generally, the highest macro-element content was detected in the first ripening stage. The total phenolic content dynamics displays a significant increase during ripening. The highest value of ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity (0.357 μM Fe 2+ g -1 FW) was obtained for 'Sirena' at the halfripe stage, while the lowest value was detected for the same cultivar at the unripe stage (0.045 μM Fe 2+ g -1 ). In conclusion, the study of the chemical composition in different development stages represents a useful tool in horticulture to optimize the management of the nutritional potential of apricot fruit.

This work was conducted during 2016 and 2017 seasons in a private orchard at El-Khatatba region, Minofia Governorate, Egypt to study the effect of some foliar application of amino acids at 0.0, 1, 2 and 3 ml/L and micronutrients mixture i.e., Fe + Zn + Mn each at 0.0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm as well as their combination on growth, yield, quality and leaf mineral content of Canino apricot trees. The trees used in this experiment were eight-year-old planted at 4x5m apart and budded on local apricot rootstock, grown in a sandy soil under drip irrigation system and received the common cultural practices. The trees selected to be healthy and uniform in growth and yield as possible. The gained results showed that the longest shoots, the highest number of leaves/shoot and the largest leaf area were obtained from the combination of amino acids at the high rate (3 ml/L), particularly those sprayed with micronutrients at the high level (150 ppm) in the two seasons. The highest fruit set % was scored by the interaction of amino acids at the high rate, especially those received micronutrients foliar spray at the high level in the two seasons. The heaviest fruit and the highest yield/ fed. were noted by the combined treatment between amino acids at 3 ml/L and micronutrients at 150 ppm in the two seasons. The highest values of fruit firmness obtained from the combination of micronutrients at the high level, particularly those received amino acids at the high rate (3 ml/L) in both seasons. 3 ml/L amino acids sprayed plus micronutrients at 150 ppm induced the highest values of fruit T.S.S. %, fruit total sugars % and V.C (mg/ 100ml juice). The highest values of leaf N, P, K, Fe, Zn and Mn contents were obtained by using the mixed treatment between amino acids at 3 ml/L and micronutrients at 150 ppm in both seasons. Conclusively, spraying Canino apricot trees with amino acids at 3 ml/L and received micronutrients at 150 ppm foliar spray induced prospective effects on vegetative growth and fruits yield and quality.

“…7). In general, fruit species, lower L, C and h° values are associated with darker fruit skin color whereas higher values of these variables consists of fruit skin lighter color [Caliskan et al 2012]. Golden Delicious had the lightest fruits with the high L value (72.27).…”

The subtropical ecology of the Mediterranean region in Turkey has an important potential based on precocity for both stone and soft fruits. The aim of this study is to determine the yield and fruit quality properties of some apple cultivars on dwarf (M9) and semi-dwarf (MM106) rootstocks under the subtropical ecological conditions. Harvesting date, yield and pomological characteristics of apple cultivars 'Vista Bella', 'Jerseymac', 'Starking Delicious', 'Golden Delicious', and 'Granny Smith' were determined. The highest yield per tree was recorded from trees on rootstocks MM106, whereas the highest yield per hectare was detected from M9 rootstocks. Fruit quality varied dependent on cultivars but rootstocks were effective only on TSS and fruit skin color such as L*, b*, C, and h°. There was not found any effect of rootstocks on the other fruit characteristics such as fruit weight, pH, fruit length, and firmness. Result of this study revealed that summer apple cultivars were found to be very promising on both rootstocks (M9 and MM106) in the subtropical ecological conditions of the Mediterranean region in Turkey.
