The antioxidant complex in cucurbits vegetables
Keywords:
antioxidants, cucumbers, zucchini, temperature, precipitation, superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidaseAbstract
The influence of temperature and precipitation during the growing season on the activity of enzymatic antioxidants in cucumber and zucchini fruits was investigated. It was established that the sum of the temperatures during the growing season has a decisive influence on the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase in cucumbers. In zucchini fruits, these indicators depend significantly on the sum of temperatures during the period of fruit formation and precipitation during the growing season. Peroxidase activity in pumpkin fruits reliably depends only on precipitation and is inversely correlated with superoxide dismutase and catalase activity.
