ABSTRACT: Carob (Ceratonia
siliqua L.) fruit pulp from 12 wild and 8 domesticated trees from 15
Moroccan localities were investigated for their polyphenols contents: total
polyphenols content (53.22 - 118.04 mg and 57.46 - 183.31 mg), total flavonoids
(1.41 - 4.83 mg and 1.62 - 7.46 mg) and condensed tannins (1.47 - 7.36 mg and
1.85 - 6.66 mg) in one carob fresh pulp for wild and domesticated trees,
respectively. Fruit pulp from trees in the same region shows variable contents
in polyphenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins.
