To evaluate the organic acids, sugars, vitamin C, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic compounds of historical black and white mulberry genotypes.
Analyzed fruit samples from historical white (Morus alba L.) and black (Morus nigra L.) mulberry genotypes growing in the Aras valley, Turkey.
Quantified organic acids, individual sugars, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity using the Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) assay.
Species and genotypes significantly influenced chemical composition and antioxidant capacity (p<0.05).
Malic acid was the predominant organic acid across all genotypes (1.130–3.040 g/100 g), while glucose (5.337–8.573 g/100 g) and fructose (4.177–7.700 g/100 g) were the primary sugars.
Black mulberry genotypes demonstrated higher antioxidant capacity (10.167–14.400 µmol TE/g) than white genotypes (6.170–9.273 µmol TE/g), with chlorogenic acid and rutin as the primary phenolics.
