Abstract
This study was conducted to study the chemical composition and mineral contents of carob pods fruits. Determination of some active compounds such as total phenols, total flavonoids and identification of phenolic compounds using HPLC technique of carob pods. Microbiological aspects will do to study the antimicrobial effect of carob pods as powder on some pathogenic microorganisms such as total bacterial counts, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella sp, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans. Biological study will do on male albino rats to evaluate the efficiency of carob pods on organs weight, BWG, FI, FER lipid profile, glucose levels, liver functions and kidney functions. The obtained results could be summarized in the following: 6.1. Chemical composition of carob pods: 1. The percentage of moisture, protein, fat, ash, fiber, carbohydrates and energy value of carob pods as dry weight were 5.27, 6.36%, 3.15, 7.32%, 75.90% and 401.07 kcal/100g, respectively. 79 6.2. Minerals content of carob pods: 1. The highest minerals content of carob pods were recorded for sulpher, potassium and phosphorus. The mean values were 1757.01, 863.51 and 225.35 mg/100g, respectively. 2. The lowest minerals content of carob pods were recorded for copper, zinc and ferric. The mean values were 0.45, 2.41 and 38.06 mg/100g, respectively. 6.3. Total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity of carob pods: 1. The percentage of total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity of carob pods were 14.50 mg/g GAE, 1.07 mg/g as catchin and 88.45 %, respectively. 6.4. Identification of phenolic compounds of carob pods:
1. The highest phenolic compounds of carob pods recorded for pyrogallol, catechol and chlorogenic acid. The mean values were 4968.15, 16.9 and 100.40 mg/100g, respectively. 2. The lowest phenolic compounds of carob pods recorded for coumarin, cinnamic and ferulic acid. The mean values were 4.35, 7.55 and 10.13 mg/100g, respectively.
