The aim of this work was to evaluate the total antioxidant activity of
fruits and leaves of Diospyros lotus L., which is a valuable source of
biologically active substances. The objects of investigation were the
fruits of 11 genotypes, which grown in the arboretum Mlynyany
(Slovakia). Has been studied the seasonal dynamic of the accumulation
of antioxidants in the leaves of pistillate and staminal specimens. The
total antioxidant activity of aqueous and methanol extracts of the
samples were determined by DPPH method. In the investigation of fruit
found that antioxidant potential was higher in the methanolic extract in
the range from 60.22% to 93.53% in aqueous extracts – from 39.45% to
65.51%. Conducted researches of leaves Diospyros lotus revealed that
antioxidant potential of higher in methanolic extracts. During the
growing season content of antioxidants in the leaves is increased
mostly by the end of the season. Thus, used the indicators of total
antioxidant activity allows screening to select the most valuable
samples for use in scientific and practical developments in the field of
plant breeding, food and pharmaceutical industries. An elevated level of
antioxidant substances in the fruits determines their biological value and
high consumer properties.

Keywords: Diospyros lotus L., antioxidant activity, fruits, leaves
