Determination of biochemical and pomological parameters in the fruits of different wolfberries (Lycium barbarum L., Lycium chinense Miller) grown species of ripening periods in Aksaray province

The fruits, leaves of wolfberry is known as a healthy food. They have been consumed as a medicinal aromatic plant by people due to having properties of anticarcinogen, antimutagenic and antiaging. This study was aimed to determinate as qualitative and quantitative that some pomological and biochemical contents by HPLC in Aksaray province Kargın village, at the HZR Fidan AŞ's plantation where is grown Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense species of genotypes have been collected in green, coloured, mature and samples of dried fruits. The highest grain fruit weight has been observed in HZR1 by 84.49 (g /100 fruits), the highest fruit width has been observed in HZR1 by 11.98 mm and the highest fruit length has been observed in HZR2 by 23.49 mm. The genotypes in terms of colour characteristics; in fruits in the mature period the highest L value (40.13), highest b value (56.55) and the highest C value (65.51), highest Hue value (59.68) M1 ALTUNI have been observed in genotypes, the highest a value has been observed in HZR1 by (44.20). The highest Brix value has been observed by 42.00 in HZR3.The highest value in titrable acidity has been observed during the dry period in HZR2 by (% 1.35). As a result, it was found that the highest HZR1 in terms of grain size, M1 ALTUNİ in terms of color, sugar content and significant differences between genotypes and in terms of organic acid content.
