“…Our present results correspond with the previous ones where the amount of polyphenol compounds and their antioxidant capacities of Murtilla berries were significantly higher than in other studied berries and are comparable with blueberries [11]. In our recent research, Myrteola nummularia, Murtilla, blueberries, raspberries, and black chokeberries were compared [11]. It was evaluated that the ability to inhibit LDL oxidation and total polyphenol content were consistent in classifying the antioxidant capacity of the polyphenol-rich beverages in the following order: blueberry juice [ black cherry juice, acai juice, cranberry juice [ orange juice [29].…”

“…In our recent research, polyphenols, flavonoids, flavanols, and tannins and the level of antioxidant activity by ABTS, FRAP, and CUPRAC radical scavenging assays of methanol extract of studied berry samples were determined and compared. It was found that the contents of the polyphenol compounds and the level of antioxidant activity in extracts of berries differ significantly [11]. We were interested to investigate extracts of gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) and to compare its composition with the widely consumed berries.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and binding effects of gooseberry, a less-studied berry, and to compare with blueberry and cranberry in the model of interaction with human serum albumin (HSA). The relationship between the scavenging properties of dietary polyphenols of the selected berries and their affinities for HSA were investigated by fluorescence analysis. In order to perform the extraction and identification of the antioxidants present in the samples, different types of extraction solvents were used, such as water, ethyl acetate, and diethyl ether. The polyphenols, tannins, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid contents, and the total antioxidant capacities (TACs) of the berry extracts were assessed by using ESI-MS, FTIR, and radical scavenging assays. The contents of bioactive compounds and the levels of TACs in water extracts differed significantly and were the highest in water extracts in comparison with other extracts in all the investigated berries (P \ 0.05). Gooseberry water extracts contained: polyphenols (mg GAE/g DW)-5.37 ± 0.6, tannins (mg CE/g DW)-0.71 ± 0.2, anthocyanins (mg CGE/g DW)-12.0 ± 1.2, ascorbic acid (mg AA/g DW)-5.15 ± 0.5, and TACs (lMTE/g DW) by ABTS and FRAP assays were 15.53 ± 1.6 and 6.51 ± 0.7, respectively. In conclusion, the bioactivity of gooseberry was lower than blueberries and cranberries. The antioxidant and binding properties of gooseberries in comparison with widely consumed blueberries and cranberries can be used as a new source for food supplementation.

“…Antioxidant activity studies using different ecotypes of murtilla have shown that the levels of antioxidant activity in the fruit are comparable to those of blueberry and lower than those of maqui and calafate fruits (Ruiz et al, 2010;Arancibia-Avila et al, 2011). These results suggest that high levels of flavan-3-ols such as catechin and epicatechin, in addition to the anthocyanins cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside, could be the responsible for the high antioxidant activity observed in murtilla fruits.…”

Polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in murtilla (Ugni molinae Turcz) fruit from three genotypes (the 14-4 genotype and the Red Pearl-INIA and South Pearl-INIA varieties) were studied over five growing seasons. Our results showed significant differences in total polyphenol content among yearly harvests. The lowest value (283 ± 72 mg GAE/100 g dw) was obtained for the 14-4 genotype in the 2008 harvest, and the highest value (2,152 ± 290 mg GAE/100 g dw) was observed for the variety South Pearl-INIA in 2007. The lowest value for antioxidant activity (2,234 ± 337 µmol TE/100 g dw) was obtained for the Red Pearl-INIA variety in 2008, and the highest value (4,073 ± 76 µmol TE/100 g dw) was observed for the 14-4 genotype in 2007. There was a significant effect of genotype and growing season on polyphenol content, antioxidant activity and dry matter content for the murtilla fruits evaluated in this study, but additional studies examining other abiotic and biotic factors are required to fully explain causality.
