Abstract
Red clover is one of the most utilized forage in agriculture and contains many of the isoflavones known for their human health benefits. The objectives of this study were: i) to quantify, using HPLC analysis, isoflavones in 77 accessions from the USDA core collection and a Brazilian line; ii) to verify possible relationships depending on their origin, improvement status or maturity type and; iii) to verify the seasonal variation. The isoflavone mean contents were 29.27 μg g-1 of dry material fo ...
Red clover is one of the most utilized forage in agriculture and contains many of the isoflavones known for their human health benefits. The objectives of this study were: i) to quantify, using HPLC analysis, isoflavones in 77 accessions from the USDA core collection and a Brazilian line; ii) to verify possible relationships depending on their origin, improvement status or maturity type and; iii) to verify the seasonal variation. The isoflavone mean contents were 29.27 μg g-1 of dry material for daidzein, 163.69 μg g-1 for genistein, 11353.29 μg g-1 for formononetin and 6568.8 μg g-1 for biochanin A. Clustering was mainly influenced by the total amount of isoflavones and partially due to maturity type, improvement status and geographic origin. The seasonal evaluation demonstrated an increase of concentration during winter, and decrease during spring. These results highlighted accessions that can be used to develop new varieties with low or high isoflavones concentration. ...
