Several Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Cherry Laurel (Laurocerasos OfficinalisRoem.) Fruits

Storage Temperature Affects Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Activity and Fruit Quality Parameters of Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasusL.)

“…Previous researchers reported SSC values of cherry laurel fruits at the time of optimal harvest as between 10.2 and 25.0% (Beyhan ; Celik et al . ; Halilova and Ercisli ; Sulusoglu ; İslam and Deligöz ; Sahan et al . ); titratable acidity values as between 0.12 and 0.70 g malic acid 100 mL −1 (Celik et al .…”

Estimation of neuroprotective effects of Laurocerasus officinalis Roem. (cherry laurel) by in vitro methods

“…(Tirado, Clarke, Jaykus, McQuatters-Gollop, & Frank, 2010). In a very recent study (Halilova & Ercisli, 2010), antioxidant activity measured by beta carotene-linoleic acid assay and total phenol and anthocyanidin contents were determined in eight cherry laurel genotypes collected from the Black Sea region of Turkey and it was concluded that there were a great variation among those samples in terms of antioxidant activity and compositional characteristics. In our previous report (Orhan, Aydin, Colkesen, Sener, & Isimer, 2003), we similarly tested the antioxidant activity of the polyphenolic fraction of the seed and fruits of LO along with some other fruits purchased from local markets in Ankara (Turkey) by DPPH and SO radical scavenging activity at concentrations of 20-400 mg mL −1 .…”

Genetic diversity in wild sweet cherries (Prunus avium) in Turkey revealed by SSR markers

“…Turkey is also described as a country with many microcenters for other crops, such as wheat, flax, barley, melon, cabbage, and bean. The importance of protecting existing plant diversity is highly recognized and various conservation programs exist in the country (Ercisli, 2004;Halilova and Ercisli, 2010).…”
