Determination of phytochemical properties of naturally growing rosehip (Rosa canina L.) fruits in Tuzluca district

This research was performed to villages Pirli (935 m), Hamurkesen (1.830 m) and Ortabucak (1.670 m) investigate wild rosehip types' fruit characteristics of Tuzluca district of Igdır province in 2018.In each village one plant was identified and sampled three times at regular intervals. In consequence of the research, phytochemical properties and antioxidant capacities of the samples in three different altitudes were compared. For the phenological compounds inspected, 5,265-19,836 mg/100 g for klorojenik acid, 277,88-597,4 mg/100 g for catechin, 2,721-7,88 mg/100g for p-coumaric acid, 1,9037-6,2091 mg/100 g for transferratic, 3,7006-18,716 mg/100 g for o-coumaric acid , 1,5034-4,3187 mg/100 g for quercetin, 43,45-118,63 mg/100 g for acetic acid, 0,157-3,488 mg/100 g for fumaric acid, 599,8-863,81 mg/100 g for vitamin C, 83,46-144,84 mg/100 g for TEAC, 0,307-6,188 mg/100 g for fructose, 0,137-5,263 mg/100 g for fructose content. Chirralic acid, galic acid, caffeic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid and sucrose were not found.
