Abstract

|
|
For functional enhancement of apples, the effects of CuEDTA and FeEDTA foliar spray were investigated on the antioxidant contents and antioxidant activities in ‘Hongro’ fruit, which is a representative early season harvesting apple cultivar, at 30 days before harvest. The polyphenolic content of peel was significantly higher in the CuEDTA (1,228.6 mg/100 g) and FeEDTA (1,210.0 mg/100 g) spraying treatment groups compared to the control group (998.8 mg/100 g). The flavonoid content of peel showed the same trend as that of polyphenolic content. The ascorbic acid content of peel as also significantly increased in the CuEDTA and FeEDTA spraying treatment groups, but anthocyanin content was the highest in the control group (560.6 mg/100 g). The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities were higher in the CuEDTA and FeEDTA spraying treatment groups than in the control group, but reducing power was not significantly different between the treatments. As a result of this study, 3% CuEDTA and FeEDTA spraying treatments at 30 days before harvest can be used to effectively enhance antioxidant contents in ‘Hongro’ apple.
