Article Synopsis
- Pollen is essential for pollinators and crucial for apple production, which relies on cross-pollination to enhance yields.
- This study analyzed the chemical composition of pollen from 11 apple cultivars grown in Norway to see how it relates to attracting insects.
- Notably, 'Dolgo' and 'Professor Sprenger' crab apples showed high levels of beneficial compounds, making their pollen particularly attractive to insects and suggesting potential health benefits for humans as well.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how location and plum cultivars affect metabolite profiles in organically grown plums in Norway.
- Key findings showed that minerals and sugars were abundant, with glucose and fructose making up 97% of the sugars; Ullensvang plums had higher overall nutrient content, while Telemark plums had more quantified polyphenols.
- Specific cultivars had distinctive qualities: 'Mallard' was highest in minerals and antioxidant activity, 'Opal' was sweetest, 'Jubileum' had the highest acidity, 'Excalibur' had the most total polyphenols, and 'Valor' contained the highest quantified polyphenols.
In this work, 12 apple cultivars grown organically in three regions of Norway (Telemark, Ullensvang, Viken) were analyzed in terms of fruit quality, with the aim of equating different growing regions under specific climatic conditions. Apples were analyzed for concentration levels of minerals, sugars, sugar alcohols, organic acids, total phenolic content (TPC), radical scavenging activity (RSA), and phenolic profiles. Discovery "Rose" from Telemark stored the highest level of minerals (24,094.
