Abstract
Turkey is one of the most outstanding places with the highest potential to grow barberry genotypes. Barberry genotypes, which possess rich chemical content, can grow naturally in almost all regions of Turkey and can be regarded as priceless in terms of health concerns. The goal of this paper is to determine chemical and phytochemical contents of barberry genotypes from Sivaslı district of Uşak province in Western Turkey. We detected different sixteen barberry genotypes in different parts of Sivaslı district of Uşak province in Turkey which were collected for phytochemical analysis in the laboratory. We analyzed barberry juices in terms of chemical (fruit skin color, SSC, acidity and pH) and phytochemical (total antioxidant activity, phenol, flavonoids and ascorbic acids) values. The implications of the research indicate that the values of total flavonoids contents range from 261.66 to 965.97 mg CAT/100 g FW and the highest ascorbic acid values are found as 444.35 and the lowest ones as 120.36 mg/100 g. Total antioxidant activity between genotypes varies from 126.27 to 34.20 % and total phenol contents from 1198.53 to 2616.78 mg GAE/100 g FW. Statistical analysis shows that there emerges a significant difference (P<0.01) for all measurements between genotypes handled in this study and that a major correlation occurs between total antioxidant activity and total flavonoids, SSC, pH, L.
