New Insights into the Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Some Hackberry (Celtis Australis L.) Genotypes
Hackberry (Celtis australis L.) is native to the Mediterranean region and is distributed in Europe, Turkey, North Africa and Iran. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on C. australis L. genotypes in the Arasbaran region, Iran. In the present study, total phenol (TP), flavonoid (TF), antioxidant capacity based on DPPH and FRAP assays and the phenolic compounds and sugars profiles were investigated. According to the results, the range of antioxidant capacity based on DPPH and FRAP assays was 14.12–88.24% and 44.35 –117.87 mg Fe2+/100g, respectively. The highest TP, TF and vitamin C content were observed in C9, C17 and C11 genotypes, respectively. Also, the range of gallic acid, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, p-comaric acid, rosmaric acid, quercetin, cinnamic acid, and apigenin content was 2.59-26.32, 2.03-9.32, 0.94-11.35, 1.80-4.857, 2.32-9.52, 4.74-51.38, 1.05-6.04, 0.18-2.10 and 0.27-1.37 mg/g, respectively. According to the correlation, The TP, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, p-comaric, and apigenin phenolic compounds had a High positive correlation with FRAP assay. The results of factor analysis showed that the C12, C14, C15, C20, C8, C16, C3, and C20 genotypes are positively characterized by the first principal component (PCA1) that have a higher caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, p-comaric acid, rosmaric acid, quercetin, cinnamic acid, and apigenin phenolic compounds content. Based on cluster analysis, the twenty genotypes were located in 2 main clusters. In general, the obtained results can be useful for breeding programs and the introduction of cultivars in Celtis australis L
