Abstract

The oily (hexane) and aqueous extracts from apple seeds (Malus domestica Borkh -Rosaceae-) cultivars Winter Banana (WB), Winter Permain (WP) and Blanca de Asturias (BA) have shown significant differences in phenolic content and antioxidant activity. BA seed oily extracts and WB seed aqueous extracts have presented the best scavenging capacity of DPPH· radical and inhibition of hydroxyl radicals. In the biological assay apple seed extracts showed protection against low density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation, which might fight the risk of atherosclerosis. The BA oily seed extract may have potential use as nutraceutical ingredient.
