Abstract

Sea buckthorn (Hippophaė rhamnoides L.), an ancient crop with modern virtues has recently gained worldwide attention, mainly for its nutritional and medicinal value. Nowadays, more attention has been given to medicinal plants and natural food sources due to their nutraceutical properties, presence of bioactive constituents and associated health claims. In this scenario, Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.), has shown promising results as a natural curative agent for several diseases. The present project has been designed to evaluate the impact of different geographical locations of Northern Pakistan (Khaplu, Shigar, Gilgit and Ghizar) on the nutritional significance and antioxidant potential of sea buckthorn components (seed, berry and whole berry). The compositional analysis of sea buckthorn components revealed that the berry's dominant minerals were potassium, iron and sodium, while the seed's content of calcium magnesium and iron was higher. All the components of sea buckthorn also contained appreciable quantity of crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber. Similarly, the highest amount of vitamin C and A was witnessed in berries of Khaplu and Shighar origin, respectively. The fatty acid profile revealed the highest concentration of unsaturated fatty acids in the seed portion with the dominant presence of linoleic acid and γ-linolenic acid. Essential amino acids were reported maximum in the berry portion followed by whole berry powder. The assessment of antioxidant potential revealed maximum TPC in berries from Shighar, TFC in seeds from Khaplu and antioxidant potential in berries from Khaplu.
