Abstract
This study examined the total phenolic and flavonoid compounds, and the antioxi dant activity of major cultivars of Prunus mume in Korea. The total phenolic content ranged from 64.13 to $93.43mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$, with the content in 'Osuku' being higher than that in the other cultivars; a difference in the content among cultivars was observed. The total flavonoid content was $6.16{\sim}18.57mg{\cdot}100g^{-1}$, showing a significant difference, with the highest content being noted in 'Gojirou'. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured and was relatively high for Nanko, Kamakami, Natsuka, Dana, and Osuku cultivars. When ABTS radical scavenging activity was measured, all the cultivars showed a scavenging activity over 80%, with the scavenging activity of 'Osuku' being the highest. With respect to nitrite scavenging ability, all cultivars exhibited a high scavenging activity of over 50%, with the highest activity observed for 'Nanko' (76.03%), 'Gojirou' (70.56%), and 'Yourou' (70.32%). Based on the study results, it is considered that Prunus mume can be a useful resource because of various substances with functional physiological activities.
