Mediterranean Region Studies of Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use for Improved Human Nutrition and Wellbeing Project
Abstract
Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and
sustainable use for improved human nutrition and wellbeing” project is being
carried out in three pilot sites in Turkey. Mediterranean pilot site
contains high mountain steps of Taurus Mountains and Central Anatolian steps
where transition zone between Irano-Turanian and Mediterranean
biogeographic regions exists. This site has highest endemism rate in Turkey.
Mediterranean pilot site includes 4 cities as Antalya, Konya, İçel and Karaman include 17 districts and 31 villages.
In the Mediterranean Region 20 taxa; 16
of them using for nutrition, 3 of them using as folk medicine 1 is local race
(cultivated). People
in the rural area use many plant for nutritional and medical purpose. These
species have been selected and collected from nature and local bazaars.
Plant materials have been sent to the Bursa Food and Forage Control Central
Research Institute for content analysis, Proximities, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals were assayed using
standard methods and reference materials. Plants are analyzed to the Western Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute, Medicinal
and Aromatic Plants Central Research Institute for antioxidant properties.
Antioxidant activity analysis (two method using) was completed for all priority
species of the project. The antioxidant activity analyses were done according
to the DPPH and TEAC methods.
