Abstract

The apple belongs to the family of the Rosaceae and the genus Malus communis L. Apple is composed of water (85%); carbohydrates (11%); dietary fibre (2%); fat (0.6%); organic acids (0.5%); and protein (0.3%). Malic acid is the most abundant acid; furthermore phenolic acids (such as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid) and vitamins are present.
Apple, which is one of the most frequently consumed fruit, is source of monosaccharides, minerals, diet fibers, variety of biological active compounds, C vitamins and phenolic compounds known as natural antioxidant. Some researchers think that polyphenols are components which have antimutagenic and anticancerogenic effect.
In this compilation, importance of phenolic compounds and fiber content in apple is mentioned by examining these two components.

Elmanın fenolik bileşen ve lif içeriği

Abstract

Elma, Rosaceae familyasından Malus communis L. cinsindendir. Genel olarak, elmalar %85 su, %11 karbonhidrat, %2 diyet lif, %0.6 yağ, %0.5 organik asit ve %0.3 proteinden oluşur. Malik asit en fazla bulunan asittir, ayrıca fenolik asitler (kafeik ve klorojenik gibi) ve vitaminlerde mevcuttur.
En sık tüketilen meyvelerden biri olarak elma; insan beslenmesinde monosakkaritlerin, minerallerin, diyet lifin, çeşitli biyolojik aktif bileşiklerin, C vitamini ve doğal antioksidan olarak bilinen fenolik bileşenlerin kaynağıdır. Bazı araştırmacılar polifenollerin antimutajenik ve antikanserojen etkileri olan bileşenler olduğunu düşünmektedirler.
Bu derlemede elmanın fenolik bileşenleri ve lif içeriği incelenerek bu iki unsurun sağlığımız için önemine değinilmiştir.
