The aim of this study was to determine the
phenolic content in the fruit, leaf and root samples of the fennel
plant and in the fruit samples from several different areas, and
then to determine the antioxidant capacity of these samples.
In this research, the
antioxidant capacity(DPPH method), and total phenolic content (assayed
by Folin-Ciocalteu method), ,flavonoids, anthocyanins (pH differential
method) and ascorbic acids(2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol) in three fruit
tissues (
peel, pulp and whole fruit), of four apple cultivars commonly in
Syria(Red Delicious, Rome Beauty, Starking Delicious, Golden
Delicious), were studied.
