Online Published on 14 March, 2024. Abstract The present study was conducted for biochemical characterization of kapoori betelvine accessions from Andhra Pradesh in 2021-2022. For this study seventeen betelvine accessions from Andhra Pradesh were selected and evaluated for their bio chemical parameters. Among them, Kapoori Chittikavata recorded the maximum phenol (3.64 mg g−1) and tannin content (3.44 mg g−1). The highest reducing sugar content was recorded in Kapoori Doddipatla (2.2 g 100 g−1) while the highest flavonoid content was recorded in Kapoori Tuni (14.10 mg g−1). The highest β-carotene (4.23 mg 100 g−1) and essential oil (0.40%) content was recorded in Kapoori Chinnacheppali whereas Gangeri (58.20 mg 100 g−1) recorded the highest ascorbic acid content. Chlorophyll content was found to be highest in Tellaku Uthukuru (42.80 SPAD units) and carbohydrate content was maximum in Kapoori Kadapa (2.33 g 100 g−1). Among all the accessions Tellaku Ponnuru (4.0 mg g−1) recorded the highest protein content. Top Keywords β-carotene, Phenols, Flavonoids, Essential oil. Top |
