Résumé

Les activités antioxydantes (AA) de 27 fruits provenant principalement du nord algérien sont analysées par mesure du pouvoir réducteur du fer (III) à fer (II). De tous les fruits étudiés, la fraction (pulpe + pelure) des baie de l’arbre à fraises (Arbutus unedo L.), les mûres sauvages (Morus nigra L.) et les dattes (Phoenix dactylifera L.) noires arrondies montrent des AA plus élevées: 2 049, 1 115 et 1 091 mg de vitamine C par 100 g de masse fraîche (mf) respectivement. L’effet synergique (ES), calculé uniquement pour les pelures de trois fruits est de 1,29 ± 0,04 (arbousier/datte grenat à noyaux), 1,74 ± 0,07 (arbousier/raisins noirs), 2,24 ± 0,11 (dattes grenat à noyau/raisins noirs) et 1,45 ± 0,05 (arbousier/datte grenat à noyau/raisins noirs). L’indice d’hétérogénéité (IH) introduit dans cette étude renseigne sur la répartition des substances antioxydantes entre les différentes parties des fruits étudiés.

Abstract

Antioxidant activities (AA) of 27 fruits from northern Algeria were studied by measurement of iron (III) to iron (II)-reducing power. Among the investigated fruit fractions, the (pulp + peel) part of arbutus berries (Arbutus unedo L.), wild mulberry (Morus nigra L.) and round black date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) showed greater antioxidant activities: 2 049, 1 115 and 1 091 mg vitamin C/100 g wet weight (ww) respectively. Also, the AA of peels and seeds were separately investigated. Mixture effect (MME), calculated for only three fruit peels, is of 1.29 ± 0.04 (arbutus/garnet wild stone date), 1.74 ± 0.07 (arbutus/black grapes), 2.24 ± 0.11 (garnet wild stone dates/black grapes) and 1.45 ± 0.05 (arbutus/garnet wild stone date/black grapes). The introduced heterogeneous index (HI) indicated a large variability in the distribution of antioxidant substances between different parts of the fruits studied.
