“…It is used as mild laxative, antipyretic, antiseptic, emetic and ophthalmic. Some studies have reported antimicrobial, antimutagenic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities (Wani et al 2015) of apricots. In India apricots are grown commercially in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Utter Pradesh and to a limited extent in the north eastern hills.…”

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of processing methods and storage periods on the three apricot varieties viz. CITH-1, CITH-2 and New Castle. Apricots were processed by freezing and canning of pulp and drying of whole apricots. After processing these were analysed for various physicochemical and antioxidant properties for a storage period of 12 months at 4 month interval. The results for physicochemical properties like moisture content, TSS, total sugars and reducing sugars showed significant variation with respect to varieties and processing methods during storage. Apricots processed by canning showed highest retention of antioxidants in terms of TPC, FRAP, DPPH and metal chelating activity throughout storage period than that of frozen and dried one. CITH-2 processed by canning, freezing and drying method showed highest antioxidant properties than CITH-1 and New Castle. It can be concluded from the study that canning and freezing can preserve the apricot pulp for 12 months and significantly retain bioactive compounds.

“…In India P. armeniaca fruits are mainly cultivated in hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and some North Eastern regions. Ladakh region in Jammu and Kashmir represented the major cultivated area for P. armeniaca [6] . Fresh P. armeniaca fruits exhibited pharmacological activity due to the presence of a large number of phytomolecules such as vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, and fatty acids [7] , [8] .…”

“…P. armeniaca seed (Kernel) is an important source of dietary protein along with a significant amount of oil and fibers [9] and exhibited higher antioxidative activity then flesh of the fruit [10] . Due to its pharmacological activity, it has been used in folk medicine as a remedy for various diseases [6] . A wide spectrum of pharmacological effect of P. armeniaca have been reported including antioxidant [11] , antimicrobial [8] , antitumor [11] , immunomodulatory [12] , anti-inflammatory [13] , hepato-protective [14] , radio-protective [15] and cardio-protective [16] .…”

“…The main components are magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, potassium, iron and calcium),while copper, manganese, sodium and zinc are also present in small quantities (USDA, 2005). Wani et al (2015) found a major variation (P ≤ 0.05) in the mineral quantities in the examined apricot flesh (Chinese, Tilton, Rival, Cuminis Haley, Margulam, Harcot, Narmu, Halman, Khante, Cuba and BadamChuli). In the apricot species, Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu, Na, Mg,, K, P and Mn were found in the range of 15.…”

This paper seeks to examine the effects of processing apricots at home in different ways on the antioxidant activity. Raw, boiled, puree, juice and apricot jam that were processed at home were examined for their total carotenoids, total flavonoids (TF), total phenolics (TP) and total antioxidant activities. The results showed that apricots are rich in fiber and mineral, the most important of which are potassium and phosphorus. Puree and jam had the highest total phenolics and total flavonoids content compared to raw apricot, boiled and juice. In addition, puree, and jam had the highest total antioxidant activities compared to other products. There were no significant differences in the carotenoids content among raw, boiled, puree, jam and Juice of apricot. This research provides detailed analysis to examine the effects of different methods of apricots' home processing on the antioxidant potential of different apricot products.
