Abstract in English
The main properties(yield of juice, total soluble solid, pH, total acidity, total
sugars), some antioxisant compounds as (vitamin C, carotenoids, total phenol,
anthocyanins), and antioxidant activity measured by DPPH method for some
main Syrian orange cultivars (navel, valancia, blood orange, and shamouti)
were investigated. The results showed that valancia was the highest in juice
yield (55.16%), while navel had the highest content of carotenoids(8.68mg/100g)
and the lowest one of vitamin C(31.53mg/100g). Whereas, blood orange was
superior in its content of total phenolic (295.73 mg gallic acid100/g) and
antioxidant activity, (74.833%) among the studied cultivars.
