Characteristics of Fruit (Prunus domestica L.) Skin: Structure and Antioxidant Content
2015
Konarska, Agata
Light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the micromorphology and structure of the fruit skin as well as the phenols and flavonoids contents were determined in the mature fruits of three Prunus domestica cultivars. The fruits varied in the structure of crystalline wax, the number of microcracks and stomata present on their surface, the content of antioxidants, and the values of various anatomical parameters. The fruits of the “President” were characterized by the highest number of desirable quality characteristics, i.e., the lowest number of microcracks and stomata, and the highest content of antioxidants.
