Öğe Antioxidant Activities of different Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Market Types by Spectrophotometric Techniques Combined with Chemometrics(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2024) Gidik, Betuel; Can, Zehra; Oenemli, FadulPeanut is rich in oil and protein and has a large content of bioactive constituents consisting of tocopherols, phytosterols, and so on. Generally, Virginia, Spanish, Valencia and Runner market types are grown of peanut. In this study, it is aimed to determine the antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of peanuts from four different market types, for the first time, and group them with principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). For PCA, PC1 and PC2 explained 87.655 % of the total variation and, according to the HCA of peanut samples, two main groups were determined. The total phenolic content changed 1.556 to 2.899 mg GAE/g. The lowest value have seen at Spanish merket type to determine the antioxidant activities of peanut samples were maked FRAP and DPPH assay, the lowest FRAP value (8.136 mu mol FeSO(4)7H(2)O/g sample) was seen at Valencia market type, the highest (14.004 mu mol FeSO(4)7H(2)O/g sample) was seen at Virginia market type. It was determined that the total flavonoid, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities of the Virginia, Valencia, Spanish, and Runner market types included in the study were different from each other, and the Virginia market type showed superior characteristics compared to the others. The results obtained suggest that Virginia market type may be preferred more especially in peanut cultivation for food uses. It is thought that this study can be a source for future studies by eliminating a deficiency in the literature.Öğe Antioxidant activity and phenolic composition of propolis from Marmara region, Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Can, Zehra; Kara, Yakup; Kolayli, Sevgi; cakmak, IbrahimThis study investigated various properties of raw propolis samples from Marmara region of Turkey.
