| Abstract | ||||
| The aim of this study was to determine the proximate chemical composition, minerals content, some vitamins, sugars composition, flavonoids content as well as phenols content of whole persimmon and husk tomato fruits. The results indicated that, husk tomato has higher amounts of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and ash compared with persimmon fruits. Iron (Fe) was the most predominant of micro-elements found in persimmon and husk tomato. Persimmon fruits contained much more Vit. K content compared with husk tomato fruits. Glucose, arabinose, xylose, glactose and fructose were the predominant sugars of both of persimmon and husk tomato fruits. The major flavonoids of persimmon fruits were narengin, luteolin, hesperidin, quercetrin and rosmarinic acid, while it were rosmarinic acid, luteolin, rutin, querectin and narengin in husk tomato fruits. Regarding to phenolic compounds, pyrogallol was the major phenolics in both of persimmon and husk tomato followed by catechen in persimmon and benzoic acid in husk tomato. | ||||
