Abstract:Total polyphenols (TPs), total flavonoids (TFs) and antioxidant capacity (AC) of 29 pecan germplasms were determined and analyzed, so as to reveal the difference of indice among those various germplasm. The results showed that TPs, TFs and AC were all significantly different among those 29 pecan germplasms. ZL86 showed the highest TPs content (47.96 mg GAE·g-1) and AC values, ZL65 showed the highest TFs content (24.01 mg RE·g-1). Meanwhile, AC correlated positively with TPs and TFs (P < 0.01). Cluster analysis indicated 29 pecan germplasms could be classified into two subgroups based on the contents of TPs, TFs and AC. Group Ⅰ (including 18 germplasm) showed relatively low TPs, TFs and AC, while those of group Ⅱ (including 11 germplasms) were higher. These results might provide theoretical support for breeding and varieties selecting of pecan.
