Özet |
Grape is one of the most common crop plants in the world, and Turkey is seventh in fresh grape production. The seedlessSultani grape (Vitis vinifera L.) produced in Manisa is famous worldwide. The determination of antioxidant properties and phenolicsubstance levels, as well as investigation of the effects of different drying processes on these levels in grapes, is important in terms ofrevealing their contribution to health. Additionally, determining the levels of pesticide residues in fruit is another important issue forhealth. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the levels of pesticide residues and antioxidant substances in fresh grapes andto evaluate the benefits and harm to health and the effect of drying methods on total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content(TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC). The TAC, TPC, and TFC values of fresh grapes were found to be 12.56 ± 2.33 mg AE/g dryweight (DW), 2.85 ± 1.10 mg GAE/g DW, and 2.51 ± 1.27 mg QE/g DW, respectively. At least one pesticide residue was detected in allsamples; iprodione and lambda-cyhalothrin were detected in 82.35% of samples. However, pesticide residues were found to be belowthe maximum residue levels specified in the Turkish Food Codex. Losses in TAC, TPC, and TFC of the Sultani grapes were found to be47.45%, 55.02%, and 81.05% and 80.00%, 72.91%, and 72.11% for oven-dried and sun-dried grapes, respectively, in our study. The sundrying method leads to less loss in TPC and TFC values; in terms of TAC value, the best drying method is the oven-drying method. Theantioxidant properties of fresh grapes investigated in our study were slightly higher compared to other white grapes in the literature, andthere was no significant health risk with respect to pesticides determined in our study. |
