Abstract:
A total of 27 accessions from ten Vicia species were investigated for flavonoid contents, total polyphenol contents, and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS [2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline 6-sulfonic acid)] free radical-scavenging activities. The results revealed that NAC17 ( V. monantha ) and NAC14 ( V. hyrcanica ) had the highest total flavonoid content (1.42 ± 0.09 mg/g) and total polyphenol content [124.2 ± 0.5 μg/gallic acid equivalents (GAE) mg], respectively. Among four flavonoids, naringenin was detected at high concentrations in Vicia species. The DPPH and ABTS assays showed values in the range of 57.2 (IC 50 ) (NAC13, V. faba ) to 6530.0 (IC 50 ) (NAC24, V. sativa subsp . nigra ) and 19.1 μg/Trolox mg (NAC7, V. cracca ) to 253.4 μg/Trolox mg (NAC13, V. faba ), respectively. Among ten Vicia species, V. monantha and V. hyrcanica had the highest flavonoid content (1.31 ± 0.09 mg/g) and total polyphenol content (116.5 ± 2.0 μg/GAE mg), respectively. The highest antioxidant activity was detected in V. faba . These results will expand the flavonoid database and provide valuable information on Vicia species for the development of functional foods or feed-additive resources.
