Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) as a new functional food relationship with health: an overview

Potential application of green extracts rich in phenolics for innovative functional foods: natural deep eutectic solvents as media for isolation of biocompounds from berries

“…5,6 Recently, berries like chokeberries and black goji berries have been gaining more attention, and they have been widely consumed in traditional medicine. [7][8][9] Berries such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries and blackcurrants are widely consumed by the general population in fresh or processed forms. 10 The health-promoting effects of berries have led to increasing attention on the possible application of their extracts as functional ingredients in formulations and food products.…”

Anti-Atherosclerotic Properties of Aronia melanocarpa Extracts Influenced by Their Chemical Composition Associated with the Ripening Stage of the Berries

“…Anthocyanins constitute approximately 25% of all phenolic components of Aronia berries [8]. They are represented by cyanidin glycosides, mainly cyanidin-3-O-galactoside and cyanidin-3-O-arabinoside, and in much smaller amounts, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and cyanidin-3-O-xyloside [9,10]. Anthocyanins contained in the diet are subject to complex metabolism.…”

Effect of cultivar, year, and their interaction on nutritional and energy value components in Aronia melanocarpa berries

“…Aronia is also considered a good source of vitamins important for immune function and health. Aronia has become more and more sought after in the functional food market due to its health benefits and it is also a good source of minerals (Zhang et al, 2021;Kaličanin et al, 2022). Given the role of potassium in regulating blood pressure and heart health, magnesium in bone health and energy production, and iron in erythropoiesis (red blood cells production) and oxygen transport, the role of aronia fruits in human health is under ongoing research (Kulling and Rawel, 2008;Jurendic and Scetar, 2021).…”
