Polyphenols and antioxidant capacity of a spontaneous reddish mutant in Satsuma mandarin, Shinheungri.
A Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Miyagawa) spontaneous mutant, Shinheungri, produces fruit with an abnormal red-coloured peel during ripening. The peel and pulp extracts of Shinheungri fruit were evaluated for polyphenolic contents and antioxidant activities by using various in vitro assays. Compared with those of wild type (WT), Shinheungri exhibited slightly higher total flavonoid content and antioxidant activities. The results of UPLC analyses indicate that the peel and pulp extracts of Shinheungri fruit were rich in mainly hesperidin, and they had different flavonoid composition. The present data on Shinheungri revealed a potential source of powerful flavonoids for further detailed phytochemical investigation.
