Abstract
Effect of Sun Exposure and Fruıt Tissues On Antioxidant Capacity of Amasya and Fuji Apple Cultivars
The antioxidant capacities of Amasya and Fuji apple cultivars were determined from the fruits sampled from treated with different sun exposure and fruit tissues. FRAP and TEAC standard methods were used to determine the antioxidant capacities. The results indicated that Amasya had higher antioxidant capacities when compared by Fuji by both of the methods tested. Moreover, the sections exposed to sun had significantly higher antioxidant capacities than the other section of the fruits for both cultivars. Similarly, the fruit tissues were found to be significantly different; and, fruit skin had higher mean than fruit flesh. Fruit skin was more responsive to the sun exposure than the flesh.
