Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cranberries, black and red currants, strawberries, chokeberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, due to the high content of polyphenolic compounds, become an excellent matrix for the production of preparations that can be used as nutraceuticals. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the content of bioactive compounds and health-promoting activity of preparations from polyphenolic fractions isolated from eight types of berries. METHODS: The preparations were obtained by lyophilization of the polyphenolic fraction of fruit extracts, and then they were evaluated in terms of physicochemical properties, content of polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant, antidiabetic, antiobesity and anticancer activity. RESULTS: The analyzes showed a very diverse content of bioactive compounds and a high health-promoting potential significantly depending on the type of fruit. In total, 61 polyphenolic compounds were identified, with anthocyanins being the dominant group. A positive correlation was found between the content of polyphenolic compounds and high antioxidant activity. A cytotoxic effect on colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2) was also found. In addition, all the obtained preparations turned out to be effective inhibitors of enzymes promoting diabetes and obesity. CONCLUSIONS: The obtained preparations can be used in the production of nutraceuticals or functional food additives, applicable in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle diseases.
期刊介绍:
The main objective of the Journal of Berry Research is to improve the knowledge about quality and production of berries to benefit health of the consumers and maintain profitable production using sustainable systems. The objective will be achieved by focusing on four main areas of research and development:
From genetics to variety evaluation
Nursery production systems and plant quality control
Plant physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as cultural management
Health for the consumer: components and factors affecting berries'' nutritional value
Specifically, the journal will cover berries (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry currants, etc.), as well as grapes and small soft fruit in general (e.g., kiwi fruit). It will publish research results covering all areas of plant breeding, including plant genetics, genomics, functional genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, plant physiology, plant pathology and plant development, as well as results dealing with the chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive compounds contained in such fruits and their possible role in human health. Contributions detailing possible pharmacological, medical or therapeutic use or dietary significance will be welcomed in addition to studies regarding biosafety issues of genetically modified plants.
