Cornelian cherry fruits are quite rich in bioactive compounds. Natural colour, rich flavonoids and anthocyanins and high antioxidant activity have made the fruits a natural drug. In the present study, antioxidant activity, total flavonoids and total phenolics of naturally growing 18 cornelian cherry genotypes with different phenotypic characteristics were determined. Size and shape parameters of the genotypes were also determined with the image-processing method; sphericity, elongation and shape index were calculated and shapes of two-dimensional fruit images were compared with elliptic Fourier analysis. Antioxidant activity, total flavonoid contents and total phenolic amounts of the genotypes were varied between 55.062 and 152.420 mmol TE · kg⁻¹, 286.40 and 2,882.80 mg QE · kg⁻¹, and 2,644.80 and 12,959.00 mg GAE · kg⁻¹, respectively. Multivariate variance analysis conducted based on physical characteristics revealed that six genotypes were different from the others. Shape analysis with Elliptic Fourier method revealed that the majority of present cornelian cherry genotypes had an oval appearance and a small portion of them had a drop-like appearance. According to discriminant analysis and Hotelling's pair-wise comparison tests, there were five different shape groups for present genotypes. A single genotype was placed into one of these groups, thus it was determined that this genotype was totally different in shape from the others.

山茱approachesmas基因型的生物活性化合物和物理属性的多变量方法

山茱cherry樱桃果实中含有丰富的生物活性化合物。自然色，丰富的类黄酮和花青素以及高抗氧化活性使这些水果成为天然药物。在本研究中，测定了具有不同表型特征的自然生长的18种山茱cherry樱桃基因型的抗氧化活性，总黄酮和总酚类。还通过图像处理方法确定了基因型的大小和形状参数。计算了球形度，伸长率和形状指数，并通过椭圆傅里叶分析比较了二维水果图像的形状。基因型的抗氧化活性，总黄酮含量和总酚含量在55.062和152.420 mmol TE·kg ^-1之间，286.40和2882.80 mg QE·kg ^{-1之间变化。}分别为2,644.80和12,959.00 mg GAE·kg ^-1。根据物理特征进行的多变量方差分析表明，六种基因型彼此不同。用椭圆傅里叶法进行的形状分析表明，目前的山茱cherry樱桃基因型大多数具有椭圆形外观，而一小部分呈滴状外观。根据判别分析和Hotelling的成对比较测试，当前基因型有五个不同的形状组。将单个基因型置于这些组之一中，因此确定该基因型在形状上与其他基因组完全不同。
