Abstract
During August and October of 2017, fruits were harvested from 11 cultivars of Ficuscaricaintroduced in Wuyi, Zhejiang province.Ten nutrient components, such as soluble sugar, phosphorus and calcium, and three active components, polysaccharide, total flavonoids and psoralen were determined from harvested fruits.The result demonstrated that manganese content had the greatest difference among cultivars, with the relative standard deviation of 105.63%, followed by crude fibre, crude protein and zinc.The highest manganese content was in‘Meiliya’(6.00 mg?kg-1), the highestcrude fibre in ‘Masui dauphine’ (2.59 g?100g-1), crude proteinin‘Branswick’ (2.36 g?100g-1),zinc content in ‘Bojihong’ (5.24 mg?kg-1).Active ingredientswere ordered byflavonoids, psoralen and polysaccharides, with the highest flavonoids content in‘VioletteSolise’(0.61 g?100g-1), the highest psoralen content in ‘Xinjiang Zaohuang’ (131.51 mg?kg-1), the highest polysaccharides in‘Lukang NO.1’ (84.58 g?100g-1).Evaluation onNutrient and active ingredients in eleven cultivars were evaluated by principal component analysis.Four main componentscontributed 85.355% of the total variance.Comprehensive evaluation model of nutrient and active ingredients of 11cultivars was established and the comprehensive scores were calculated.The result indicated the top six cultivars ‘Meiliya’,‘Masui Dauphine’,‘XinjiangZaohuang’,‘Lukang NO.1’,‘Branswick’,’VioletteSolise’.
