Abstract:
This investigation was carried out at the Department of Biotechnology,
Faculty of Technology, Mahasarakham University, Mahasarakham Province,
Northeast Thailand. The study aimed to analyze flavonoids contents in
ripe fruits of fifteen Mao Luang cultivars (Antidesma bunius) harvested
from dipterocarp forest of the mountainous areas of Phupan Valley, Sakon
Nakhon Province, Northeast Thailand. The experiment was laid in a Completely
Randomised Design (CRD) with five replications. The fifteen cultivars
were used as treatments. An amount of 2 kg of ripe fruits of each cultivar
was collected and extracted for juice solutions. The analysis was carried
out with the use of RP-HPLC laboratory system. The results showed that
fruits of the fifteen Mao Luang cultivars contained three different kinds
of flavonoids, i.e., catechin, procyanidin B1 and procyanidin B2. These
three chemical compounds were the major flavonoids in all analyzed fruit
samples of the fifteen cultivars. The highest amount of procyanidin B1
was found with Lompat followed by Maeloogdog with values of 4,122.75 and
3,993.88 mg 100 g-1 of fresh weight, respectively and
the highest amount of procyanidin B2 was found with Sangkrow 2 followed
by Fapratan with values of 5,006.39 and 3,689.42 mg 100 g-1
of fresh weight, respectively. Catechin contents in fruits of the fifteen
cultivars varied from 73.39 to 316.22 mg 100 g-1 of fresh weight
for Sangkrow 5 and Fapratan, respectively where Fapratan was the highest
among the fifteen cultivars followed by Sangkrow 2 with values of 316.22
and 175.40 mg 100 g-1 of fresh weight, respectively. In terms
of grand total amounts of flavonoids, Sangkrow 2 was the best followed
by Fapratan, Sangkrow 1 and Maeloogdog, whilst the rest were of secondary
importance.
