The fruit of sea-buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals. This study determined the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of sea-buckthorn grown in Issyk-Kul region, Kyrgyz Republic, during maturation from August to November. Three different assays [ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH), and cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC)] were used to determine the antioxidant activity of sea-buckthorn fruits. Sea-buckthorn fruits had a sugar content of 6.57-8.08 g/100g, a dietary fiber content ...Daha fazlası
