Abstract
In this study, pomological analyses and antioxidant capacity and total phenolic compound content assessments of fruits sampled from 12 apricot cultivars commonly cultivated in Turkey. Significant differences between the cultivars were determined in terms of evaluated traits. Antixodant capacities varied between 0.62 and 1.18 µmol TE/g FW, and total phenolic contents were found between 351.83 and 1208.33 µg GAE/g FW among the cultivars. The results of the study were concluded to be beneficial for apricot breeders who are willing to conduct breeding studies to improve related traits by the help of the related cultivars, and also for apricot fruit consumers in selecting higher phytochemical content cultivars
