Anthosians of Morus Nigra L. fruit growing in the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic

Abstract

The article provides information about the anthocyanins of the mulberry fruit growing in the territory of Nakhchivan AR. The fruits were studied from the phytochemical aspect and the total anthocyanin content was determined according to the method of Giusti and Wrolstad (2001). Also, the wavelengths of fruit juice were measured in an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Due to its rich content of flavanol compounds, black smoke has been found to have antifungal and antimicrobial activity. It was also determined that the fruits contain the most cyanidin-3-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-O-sophoroside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside and pelargonidin-3-rutinoside compounds. Its fruits mainly contain important flavonoids such as rutin and quercetin. The obtained spectra in the range of 270-490 nm are pelargonidin-3-glucoside, and peaks in the wavelength range of 327-409 nm prove the presence of quercetin-3-O-glucoside compounds. Also, the total anthocyanin content of mulberry fruit was calculated and found to be 542.7 mg/l.
