“…What is more, according to literature [1][2][3]17,23,24], the Saskatoon berry fruits are an excellent source of polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant properties responsible for their proved anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and chemo-protective effects. They have more bioactive compounds than e.g., blueberry, blackberry, bilberry, raspberry, and strawberry [25,26]. However, little is known about the use of this raw material as a functional additive.…”

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of inulin and maltodextrin applied during vacuum drying of Saskatoon berry fruit, juice, and pomace on the retention of bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity (radical scavenging capacity (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP)) of powders obtained. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS/MS) was used to identify major groups of polyphenolic compounds, such as: flavan-3-ols (35% of all polyphenols for fruit powder, 33% for juice powder, and 39% for pomace powders of all polyphenols), anthocyanins (26% for fruit powder, 5% for juice powder, and 34% for pomace), phenolic acids (33% for fruit powder, 55% for juice powder, and 20% for pomace powder), and flavanols (6% for fruit powder, 6% for juice powder, and 7% for pomace powder). In general, the content of polyphenols was more dependent on the content than on the type of carrier used for drying, regardless of the matrix tested. The average sum of polyphenols and the antioxidant activity (for ABTS and FRAP assay) of the powders with 30% of carrier addition were 5054.2 mg/100 g dry matter (d.m.) as well as 5.3 and 3.6 mmol Trolox/100 g d.m. in the ABTS and FRAP tests, respectively. The increase in carrier concentration by 20% caused a decrease of 1.5-fold in the content of polyphenols and a 1.6-fold and 1.5-fold in the antioxidant potential, regardless of the matrix tested. The principal component analysis (PCA) analysis indicated that the freeze-drying process led to the lowest degradation of the identified compounds, regardless of the matrix tested, with the exception of juice and pomace powders dried by vacuum drying at 60 • C. In this case, the release of (−)-epicatechin was observed, causing an increase in the flavanol contents. Thus, this work demonstrated the effect of processing and matrix composition on the preservation of antioxidant bioactives in Saskatoon berry powders. Properly designed high-quality Saskatoon berry powders with the mentioned carriers may be used as nutraceutical additives to fortify food products and to improve their functional properties.

“…Saskatoon is a common ornamental plant in Swedish urban gardens and was fast growing at most sites while producing tasty berries with high nutritional value (Mazza and Cottrell 2008) that were easy to pick. Furthermore, sea buckthorn exhibited substantial yields only two years after establishment, and dwarf quince was of special interest to the group as a potential substitute for imported citrus.…”

To meet the environmental challenges that are presently confronting society, the narrow focus on agricultural production needs to be altered to one that places equal value on the generation of crucial ecosystem services. Current research shows that perennial intercropping systems such as agroforestry may be a feasible alternative. Based on studies during the establishment of edible forest gardens in 12 participating farms in Sweden, this paper explores the potential of utilizing multi-strata designs for food production in temperate, highincome countries. Design and species composition of such gardens, types of food they provide, and how they would best fit into the present landscape are discussed. Factors for success and major problems related to the establishment are shared. Potential benefits were found to be closely related to a thorough analysis of the social and ecological contexts before establishment. Characteristics of the site and goals of the garden need to guide species and design choices. If forest garden approaches to food production should contribute to more than local selfsufficiency, the gardens need to increase in scale. Marginal lands and transitions areas between different land uses may be appropriate. Large knowledge gaps concerning potential production, social and economic benefits, and agronomic issues were identified.

“…There is a wide range of methods for the analysis of cyanogenic glycosides, most of which involve the spectrometric determination of the HCN released by their hydrolysis (Santamour, 1998;Hughes et al, 2003;Drochioiu et al, 2008). Several chromatographic methods for intact glycosides, involving LC-UV (Mazza and Cottrell, 2008), LC-MS and GC-MS (Balkon, 1982;Tan et al, 2011) have also been described. However, these methods are labour intensive and/or time consuming, for example, requiring long chromatographic runs.…”
