The proanthocyanidins and carotenoids composition of peel and pulp from persimmon “Seedless Pollination Variant Non-Astringent” cultivar during ripening was evaluated. Phloroglucinolysis method, combined with HPLC separation, confirmed three terminal units, the flavonol myricetin, in addition to the typical flavan-3-ols catechin and epicatechin. The extender units were epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, epicatechin-3-O-gallate, and catechin. Proanthocyanidins were characterized by a considerable level of 3-Ogalloylation (34–60%), showing a high prodelphinidin content (29–46%) and a mean degree of polymerization between 55 and 10. A carotenoid increase was observed during fruit ripening both in the peel and the pulp, with the highest contents respectively, for the peel and the pulp of 42.11 mg/Kg and 13.32 mg/Kg, determined at the almost fully mature stage.

Abstract

The proanthocyanidins and carotenoids composition of peel and pulp from persimmon “Seedless Pollination Variant Non-Astringent” cultivar during ripening was evaluated. Phloroglucinolysis method, combined with HPLC separation, confirmed three terminal units, the flavonol myricetin, in addition to the typical flavan-3-ols catechin and epicatechin. The extender units were epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, epicatechin-3-O-gallate, and catechin. Proanthocyanidins were characterized by a considerable level of 3-Ogalloylation (34–60%), showing a high prodelphinidin content (29–46%) and a mean degree of polymerization between 55 and 10. A carotenoid increase was observed during fruit ripening both in the peel and the pulp, with the highest contents respectively, for the peel and the pulp of 42.11 mg/Kg and 13.32 mg/Kg, determined at the almost fully mature stage.
