| Abstract | A new potential source of natural vitamin E from thirteen samples of Corylus avellana L. leaves was screened: the major Italian cultivar - Tonda romana (collected from Latium and Sardinia localities); ten local genotypes from Sardinia - Moro seme, Suconcale, Moro, Sarda grossa, Sarda grossa seme, Sarda schiacciata, Coccoredda, Sarda lunga, Sarda piccolo and Sarda tardiva; wild genotype - Selvatico from Latium. The determination was performed after optimizing the high-efficiency pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) conditions of α-tocopherol from Italian hazelnut tree green leaves. Moro from Sardinia showed the highest content of α-tocopherol (237.4±0.3 μg/g d.w). Leaves of this genotype may be considered as a potential new source for natural α-tocopherol. ©2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. |
