Abstract

In recent years, due to the adverse effects of synthetic antioxidants used in food processing, the use of medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds as natural sources with antioxidant properties has attracted considerable attention from researchers. Raspberry fruit is of great importance in the food and pharmaceutical industries because of its high antioxidant activity and various flavonoids and proanthocyanins. To characterize and utilize the potential of local genotypes in breeding programs, the morphological and phytochemical diversity of 10 black raspberry genotypes collected from the Urmia region was evaluated. The results of the present study showed that the different black raspberry genotypes differed significantly in morphological traits such as fruit weight. Evaluation of the antioxidant capacity of the fruits of these genotypes showed that antioxidant activity ranged from 67.34% to 87.12%. In this study, the highest total phenolic content, equal to 141.61 mg gallic acid per 100 g fresh weight, was observed in genotype G8. Cluster analysis of morphological and phytochemical data showed that the genotypes investigated in this study were grouped into three distinct clusters. Among them, genotypes G5 and G8 had the highest vitamin C and total carotenoid contents. Overall, the results of this study showed that different black raspberry genotypes contained considerable amounts of antioxidant capacity, phenolic compounds, and various pigments, and genotype G8 is suggested for use in the food industry.
