Description
type:text
The aim of this study is to elucidate characteristics of Japanese plum “Beni ume”, an endemic species in Ogose town, Saitama. We conducted componential analyses of immature and mature Beni ume in order to compare with component values of other species. Our results demonstrated that contents of βcarotene and cryptoxanthin in the Beni ume were increased by maturation, and those compo nents of the mature Beni ume markedly exceeded other several species selected to the comparative investigation. Especially, the mature Beni ume contained a high βcarotene content similar to “Zizo” whose high βcarotene content was reported. Component analysis of organic acids showed that the Beni ume contained relatively large amounts of citric acid contrary to malic acid. In terms of food safety, amygdalin, one of cyanogenetic glycosides, was undetected in both of the immature and mature Beni ume. These finding suggested that βcarotene, cryptoxanthin, and citric acid might contribute to healthpromoting effects of the Beni ume. However, we could not fully reveal the bene fits of Beni ume as a functional food. Further studies are required to elucidate the efficacy of the Beni ume for health maintenance and promotion.
