Antioxidative Activities of Aronia melanocarpa Fruit and Leaf Extracts

Abstract

In this study, the antioxidative effects of Aronia melanocarpa fruit and leaf extracts were investigated. The free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activities (FSC50) of the ethylacetate and aglycone fractions of fruit extracts were 16.29 μg/mL, and 12.29 μg/mL, respectively. The free radical scavenging activity of fruit extract was higher than that of leaf extracts. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities (OSC50) of the ethylacetate and aglycone fractions of fruit extracts on ROS generated in Fe 3+-EDTA/H2O2 system using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay showed 2.86 μg/mL, and 1.80 μg/mL, respectively. ROS scavenging activity of the aglycone fraction of fruit extracts was similar to that of L-ascorbic acid (1.50 μg/mL). The ROS scavenging activity of fruit extracts was higher than that of leaf extracts. The cellular protective effects of aglycone fraction of fruit extracts (τ50 = 72.3 min) on the 1 O2-induced cellular damage of human erythrocytes especially were increased in a concentration dependent manner (5 ~ 50 μg/mL). τ50 (72.3 min) of the aglycone fraction showed 1.9 times higher than (+)-α -tocopherol (38 min), known as lipophilic antioxidant at 10 μg/mL. These results incidicate that A. melanocarpa fruit extracts have higher antioxidant effects than leaf extracts and could be applicable to functional cosmetics materials for antioxidants by protecting skin exposed to solar UV radiation against ROS including 1 O2.

Physicochemical characteristics and consumer acceptance of puddings fortified with Cudrania tricuspidata and Aronia melanocarpa extracts

“…Aronia ( Aronia melanocarpa) , also known as black chokeberry, is a deciduous plant of the family Rosaceae and has been cultivated around North African and Eastern European regions (Wu, Gu, Prior, & McKay, 2004). Aronia is known to have antioxidant, anti‐diabetic, and antiallergic properties, and the use of aronia in food is being emphasized (Jeong, 2008; Kulling & Rawel, 2008; Lee et al., 2013; Li & Jeong, 2015; Malik et al., 2003; Oszmiański & Wojdylo, 2005). Multiple studies have evaluated the effects of aronia fortification on foods such as pork patties, yokan, yogurt dressing, makgeolli , and muffin (Chung, 2014; Hwang & Lee, 2013; Kim, Joo, & Choi, 2015; Lee et al., 2014; Park, Kwon, & Moon, 2015).…”

Characterization of electrospun Aronia melanocarpa fruit extracts loaded polyurethane nanoweb

“…Aronia's content of anthocyanin is 80 times that of grapes, 23 times that of strawberries, 11 times that of cranberries, 4 times that of blueberries, and 3.6 times that of Asian berries (Kraemer-Schafhalter et al 1998). As a result of comparing the antioxidant effects of Aronia melanocarpa fruit and leaf extracts, it was reported that the fruit extracts have higher antioxidant activity than the leaves, they also have excellent protective effects against cell damage (Lee et al 2013;Shin & Choe 2015).…”

Efficacy of Cosmetic Materials Using Aronia melanocarpa Leaf Extracts

“…피부에서 자주 나타나는 변화인 염증(inflammation)은 "균의 감염, 열, 외상, 항원항체 반응 등 생체조직의 기질변화를 초래 하는 침습에 대한 생체의 방어 기전"이라고 정의하고 있다. 염증 이 발생한 부위는 발적, 발열, 동통, 종창, 기능장애와 같은 염증 의 5대 징후가 발생된다 (Hong & Roh, 2005 (Yang et al, 2016 (Lee et al, 2013). 아로니아 베리의 연구는 항산화 (Hwang & Thi, 2014) 이외 에도 항알레르기 (Jeong, 2008), 주름개선 , 항염증 효과 (Yang et al, 2015), 항비만 활성 , 화장품 소재로서 생리활성 연구 (Shin & Choe, 2015), 아로니아 추출물을 이용한 모발의 염색 특성 (Kim & Park, 2014), 아로니아 첨가에 따른 특성 (Lee, 2017;Park et al, 2015) Figure 6).…”
