Abstract: 

Naringenin is one of the most abundant polyphenols, occurring in skin of tomatoes asaglycone. Naringenin content has been quantified in different varieties of tomatoes by UV Spectroscopic method. Naringenin showed good linearity in the concentration range of 2-12 µg/mL which was scanned at 290 nm and method was found to be linear with r2 = 0.998. Method wasvalidated according to ICH guidelines for accuracy, precision, range linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ).LOD and LOQ value were found to be 0.06 µg/ml and 0.19 µg/ml. The proposed method was found to be accurate, precise, simple, sensitive, selective, robust and rapid and can be applied successfully for the estimation of Naringenin in different tomato varieties without inference and with good selectivity.
