Abstract

Rosehip, renowned for its bioactive richness, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, and ascorbic acid, exhibits significant antioxidant and health-promoting potential. This study investigated the physicochemical, mineral, and phytochemical characteristics of rosehips sourced from the Çekerek region of Yozgat, Turkey, to evaluate their suitability as a functional food. The rosehips exhibited high dry matter content and low water activity, suggesting excellent stability for storage and processing. Furthermore, the rosehips contained substantial mineral content, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, which enhances their nutritional value. Phytochemical analysis revealed a significant phenolic content, potent antioxidant activity, and exceptional vitamin C levels, positioning Çekerek rosehips as a superior natural antioxidant source. These findings underscore the influence of Çekerek's unique environmental conditions on rosehip composition and highlight their potential applications in the functional food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical sectors, addressing the increasing demand for natural antioxidants. This research contributes to the understanding of regional variations in Rosa canina and provides a basis for further investigation into the bioavailability, clinical applications, and development of value-added products from Çekerek rosehips.

Yozgat'ın Çekerek Bölgesinde Yetişen Rosa canina L.'nın Kimyasal Karakterizasyonu ve Antioksidan Aktivitesi

Abstract

Fenolik asitler, flavonoidler, karotenoidler ve askorbik asit gibi biyoaktif zenginliğiyle tanınan kuşburnu, önemli antioksidan ve sağlığı geliştirici potansiyel sergilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, Yozgat'ın Çekerek bölgesinden elde edilen kuşburnunun fizikokimyasal, mineral ve fitokimyasal özellikleri araştırılarak fonksiyonel bir gıda olarak uygunluğu değerlendirilmiştir. Kuşburnu, yüksek kuru madde içeriği ve düşük su aktivitesi sergileyerek depolama ve işleme için mükemmel stabilite göstermiştir. Ayrıca kuşburnu, besin değerini arttıran potasyum, kalsiyum, magnezyum, demir ve çinko dahil olmak üzere önemli miktarda mineral içeriğine sahiptir. Fitokimyasal analizler, Çekerek kuşburnunu üstün bir doğal antioksidan kaynağı olarak konumlandıran önemli fenolik içeriği, güçlü antioksidan aktivitesi ve olağanüstü C vitamini seviyelerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu bulgular, Çekerek'in kendine özgü çevresel koşullarının kuşburnu bileşimi üzerindeki etkisinin altını çizmekte ve doğal antioksidanlara yönelik artan talebi karşılayarak fonksiyonel gıda, nutrasötik ve ilaç sektörlerindeki potansiyel uygulamalarını vurgulamaktadır. Bu araştırma, Rosa canina'daki bölgesel farklılıkların anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmakta ve Çekerek kuşburnundan biyoyararlanım, klinik uygulamalar ve katma değerli ürünlerin geliştirilmesine yönelik daha ileri araştırmalar için bir temel oluşturmaktadır.
