Total antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents in different turkish eggplant (Solanum Melongena L.) cultivars. International Journal of Food Properties, 12(3), 616-624. doi:10.1080/109429108019929421094-29121094-29121532-2386http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10942910801992942https://hdl.handle.net/11147/2533In this study, total water soluble antioxidant activity and phenolic content of 26 eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars were investigated. Total water soluble antioxidant activity of the cultivars varied from 2664 to 8247 molTrolox/kg, which is a 3.1-fold difference. Cultivars also showed significant variation for total phenolic contents ranging from 615 to 1376 mg/kg, a 2.2-fold difference. The two traits were significantly correlated and results of this study suggested that breeders can use the information to develop eggplant cultivars with high antioxidant activity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessABTS assayNutritional contentPhenolic compoundsSolanaceaeWater soluble antioxidant activityWater contentArticle2-s2.0-7044955374510.1080/1094291080199294210.1080/10942910801992942
