Özet
The Cancar plum (Prunus domestica L.), a local variety grown in Northeastern T & uuml;rkiye, represents a valuable source of bioactive compounds with potential funtional food applications. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the phytochemica composition and functional properties of Cancur plum fruits collected from two regions with contrasting climatic conditions Posof (microclimate, 1260 m) and & Ccedil;& imath;ld & imath;r (continental climate 1585 m). Antioxidant potential was assessed using multiple approaches, including TAC, DPPH, glutathione, SOD, and catalase assays, while the quantities of total phenolics, flavonoids, anc anthocyahins were also determined. The characterization o individual phenolic and flavonoid molecules was performec via LC-MS/MS, volatile constituents were profiled through GC-MS, and free sugars were quantified using HPLC. Comparative evaluation showed that the & Ccedil;& imath;ld & imath;r vinegars exhibited greater DPPH radical scavenging capacity and elevated catalase activity whereas the Posof vinegars were richer in total phenolics and glutathione. Despite these differences, both groups displayed a similar overall antioxidant capacity, though mediatec by distinct biochemical mechanisms. LC-MS/MS profiling highlighted shikimic, chlorogenic, and p-coumaric acids as the predominant phenolics, with rutin and hesperidin occurring in higher anmounts in the & Ccedil;& imath;ld & imath;r sample. In terms of aroma-active compounds, acetic acid and acetoin dominated in the & Ccedil;& imath;ld & imath; vinegars, while ethanol and furfural were more pronounced in the Posof samples.Glucose and fructose were identified as the primary sugars, with minor Sucrose detected only in & Ccedil;& imath;ld & imath; fruits. Microclimatic differences strongly shape the biochemica and functional profiles of Cancl & imath;r plum, highlighting its value as a source of antioxidants, flavor compounds, and functiona food ingredients.
