The Investigation of Phytochemical Contains, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Malus floribunda Siebold ex Van Houtte From Eastern Turkey

Abstract

Objective: M. floribunda is an ornamental and landscape plant in Turkey and it's small fruits are consumed as food. Antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and phytochemical contents of M. floribunda were investigated. Material and Method: M. floribunda was collected from different localities in the province of Elazig-Turkey. The nutritive value (flavonoid, sugar, fatty acid, vitamin, protein, element), antioxidant (lipid peroxidation, glutathione amounts and DPPH) and antimicrobial activities (on thirteen bacteria, three yeast and two dermatophyte) of M. floribunda were determined. Results: Vitamin (1.73-3.5 µg/g A, 1.32-1.44 µg/g D, 2.75-2.83 µg/g E, 2.64-3.30 µg/g K), flavonoid (33-253 µg/g routine, 93-123 µg/g morin, 0.22-0.32 µg/g quercetin, 292-356 µg/g naringenin), sugar (97-820 µg/g), protein (1.4-1.6 µg/g) and phytosterol (0.27-1.74 µg/g ergosterol, 26-36 µg/g stigmasterol, 95-121 µg/g β-sitosterol and 0.21-0.35 µg/g retinol) levels can vary. In vitro medium, it is determined that in FeCl group, LPO amounts increases in a large ration with respect to the control group and LPO levels in groups which includes plant extracts and FeCl 2 , decreases in certain amounts. It was determined that the radical scavenging activity of the fruits increased due to the dose. Four different fatty acids were identified in the fruit. Fruits were found to different levels of sugar. Vitamin E in the examples were determined high rate. Protein found up to 1.686 mg/g. Ca content was the most detected in the all samples. Extracts inhibited the development of microorganisms at different rates. Conclusion Although studies on this type were limited, similarities and differences were seen in the results compared to other studies.

Evaluation of Foam-Mat Drying Behaviour of Crab Apple (Malus Floribunda) Fruit Juice and Powder Quality

“…Köpük kurutma yöntemiyle kurutulan toz ürünün, tüm kurutma koşullarında kırmızılık ve parlaklık değerleri, kontrol ve MD ilaveli örneklerden daha yüksektir (P <0.05), ancak antosiyanin içeriğinin kuruma sıcaklığı artışına bağlı olarak azaldığı görülmüştür. Anahtar kelimeler: Malus floribunda, köpük, bakla proteini, toz ürün özellikleri Evaluation of foam-mat drying behaviour INTRODUCTION Malus floribunda is an ornamental plant classified in Rosacea family, and the plant is originated from Japan, therefore it is also called as Japanese crab apple tree (Cepeda and Villaran, 1999;Kırbağ and Aydoğan, 2017). Although the plant is cultivated in landscapes for its beautiful pink-reddish flowers, the apples with sour and astringent taste are used for production of vinegar and marmalade in Turkey as a remedy against diabetes (Kırbağ and Aydoğan, 2017;Coklar et al, 2018).…”

Red flesh of this apple reflects richness of anthocyanin pigments; however the literature is limited only about the phytochemical and antimicrobial properties of apple and the rheological properties of concentrated apple juice rather than utilizing the fruit as a food ingredient Kırbağ and Aydoğan, 2017;Coklar et al, 2018).…”

Probiotic ice cream withMalus floribundafruit sauce: Quality properties, mineral, and volatile composition

“…A study examining the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and the phytochemical content of M. floribunda has shown that it is rich in phytosterols (ergosterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, and retinol), vitamins (A, D, E, and K), minerals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg), protein, unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic, oleic and palmitic acid, and flavonoids (rutin, morin, quercetin, and naringenin). Moreover, edible M. floribunda fruits have been regarded as important nutritional sources of food compounds and functional benefits (Kırbag & Aydogan, 2017).…”

“…M. floribunda trees are generally used for pollination in apple nurseries and ornamentation as well as in the production of apple juice and jelly (Altuntas & Karaosman, 2015; Vaughan & Geissler, 1997). In Turkey, M. floribunda is generally used as an ornamental or landscape plant and its fruits are favored by diabetic patients as a blood sugar‐regulating agent (Kırbag & Aydogan, 2017). A study examining the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and the phytochemical content of M. floribunda has shown that it is rich in phytosterols (ergosterol, stigmasterol, β‐sitosterol, and retinol), vitamins (A, D, E, and K), minerals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg), protein, unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic, oleic and palmitic acid, and flavonoids (rutin, morin, quercetin, and naringenin).…”
