Comparative study of primary and secondary metabolites in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars
Original language description
Apricot is one of the most popular Prunus species grown in the temperate zone and great variation in the contents of primary and secondarymetabolites has been reported in its fruit. However, little is known on the phenolic profiles and antioxidant potential of important local cultivars. The objective of the study was to identify valuable parental lines for breeding of cultivars with high health-promoting effects. Primary metabolites (sugars, organic acids) and secondary metabolites (phenolics) were quantified by highperformance liquid chromatography--mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) in fruit of 13 apricot cultivars: total sugars ranged from 59.2 to 212.5 g kg freshweight (FW) and total organic acids from 4.2 to 20.8 g kg FW. Four hydroxycinnamic acids and three flavonols were quantified; their content was significantly higher in skin compared to pulp. Similarly, antioxidative potential was significantly higher in skin and ranged from 125.4 to 726.5 mg ascorbic acid equivalents kg FW. A posi
