Evaluation of anthocyanin content in the fruits of different Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) genotypes of Ladakh
2013
Raj, Anup | Ahmad, Faizan
Five different fruit colour variants of Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifiloia) collected from Kargil, Ladakh were tested for anthocyanin content in their fruit epicarp. The anthocyanin pigments were extracted with acidified methanol. Absorption spectra and OD₅₃₀ readings were recorded using spectrophotometer and the anthocyanin content was expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent. The values ranged from 115.45 to 260.52 mg equivalent of cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g fresh weight of fruit epicarp and these values varied significantly among the five varieties.
