%0 Journal Article %T Investigation of Phenolic Compounds in Fruits of Some Apricot Cultivars and Genotype Grown at Different Altitudes %A Tuncay KAN %J - %D 2019 %X Phytochemicals are among the most important micronutrients that support human health, and known as having a mechanism of action on destructive diseases such as cancer and heart disease. In this study, the amounts of different antioxidant phytochemicals in fruit samples of Hac£¿halilo£¿lu, Kabaa£¿£¿ and £¿atalo£¿lu apricot varieties and wild apricot genotype grown in Malatya at an altitude of 1040 m and 1490 m above sea level were determined using UV-DAD detector and high pressure liquid chromography (HPLC). In this context, gallic acid, P-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, routine, procyanidin B1, procyanidin B2, procyanidin B3 and 3-B-Q-D contents were investigated. Statistically significant differences were found between all cultivars and wild apricot samples (P <0.05). When the results were examined, it was observed that the values in the samples taken from the altitude 1490 m were higher. The highest gallic acid and chlorogenic acid contents were obtained in £¿atalo£¿lu cultivar (305.25 and 20916.65 ¦Ìg 100 g-1) which was grown at 1490 m, while the highest catechin and epicatechin contents were determined in Kabaa£¿£¿ cultivar (6372.80 and 788.90 ¦Ìg 100 g-1) grown at 1490 m %K £¿e£¿it %K HPLC %K Fenolik bile£¿ikler %K Kay£¿s£¿ %K Rak£¿m %U http://dergipark.org.tr/yyutbd/issue/44253/476348
