Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity and titratable acidity were higher in the peel than in the flesh of all muscadine genotypes.
- Observation Sucrose, glucose and fructose were higher in the flesh than in the peel of muscadine genotypes.
- Observation Total anthocyanin concentration in the peel varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation Total phenolic content in the peel varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation Ellagic acid in the peel varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation Total antioxidant activity in the peel varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation Total soluble solids in the peel varied significantly among cultivars; TA, TSS/TA ratio, pH, sucrose, glucose and fructose also varied (grouped claim).
- Observation In the flesh, TAC varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation In the flesh, TPC varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation In the flesh, ellagic acid varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation In the flesh, TAA varied significantly among cultivars.
- Observation In the flesh, total soluble solids varied significantly among cultivars; TA, TSS/TA ratio, pH, sucrose, glucose and fructose also varied (grouped claim).
- Observation The Supreme peel had the highest TAC, TPC and TAA, while the peel of Ga.12-3-22 had the lowest values.
- Observation TPC varied between 17 and 577 mg GAE per litre in both flesh and peel.
- Observation The peel contained over 90% of the ellagic acid in the fruit.
- Observation The ellagic acid content in the peel of Ga.12-5-46 was 144 times greater than in its flesh.
- Observation Ga.13-4-79 had the highest titratable acidity in both peel and flesh.
- Observation Sucrose content was highest in both peel and flesh of Ga.10-1-329 and Ga.12-3-22.
- Observation Ga.12-5-46 and Ga.13-4-79 had comparatively lower sucrose in flesh.
