LC-MS/MS-Based Quantification Method of Polyphenols for Valorization of Ancient Apple Cultivars from Cilento.

ABSTRACT: Safeguarding the biodiversity of plant species is of fundamental importance for their defense against pests and diseases even through the maintenance and dissemination of ancient agricultural traditions rooted within the small rural environments. The investigation area of the current research covered some municipalities belonging to the "Parco Nazionale del Cilento e Vallo di Diano" including the sub-mountainous part of "Comunità Montana del Vallo di Diano (Salerno, Campania)". Fifteen ancient apple varieties were collected from local communities to be analyzed and compared to some commercially available apples. To this aim, a Folin-Ciocâlteu assay was preliminarily used to measure the total polyphenol content in both ancient and commercial apple cultivars. Then, a liquid chromatography-ta
