“…Several authors mention that Rubus species, and other Rosaceae species, are difficult to delimitate because of their easily hybridization among Rubus species, frequent apomixis, phenotypic plasticity and the lack of a consensus on the morphology of the genus [9][10][11]. The morphology of the Rubus species is multifaceted and varied since they can be shrub or woody plants, prostrate or erect, with compound leaf blades and serrated-toothed margins [12,13], which are considered useful characters to generate taxonomic discriminations when distinguishing these from other Rosaceae species [14].…”

However, within Rubus, the most relevant criteria are those that show the least phenotypic variation, highlighting among their flowers and fruits, as well as some constant characteristics of leaves, stems and roots [6,10].…”

Abstract. Wild blackberries (Rubus) are fruits that grow in inaccessible high mountain areas, which has made it difficult to study their chemical and nutritional composition. The objective of this research was to evaluate the nutritional composition and the macro- and micro-nutrient profile of wild species of fruits of the Rubus genus collected in Sinaloa, Mexico. Botanical samples of wild Rubus were identified and deposited in the Herbarium of the Institute of Biology of the UNAM. Subsequently, the chemical composition the profile of carbohydrates, lipids and minerals were evaluated. Wild Rubus species were identified as R. liebmannii, R. coriifolius and R. palmeri. In addition, it was found that R. liebmannii is the first time it has been recorded for the state of Sinaloa. Likewise, the results show that carbohydrates represent the largest proportion of the macro-components (85 %, glucose and fructose); they have a high content of fatty acids (such as linolenic acid) and are rich sources of minerals (such as K, Ca and Mg). The results of this research could be relevant to be used in the genetic improvement of commercial species that currently exist in the market. Resumen. Las zarzamoras silvestres (Rubus) son frutos que se desarrollan en zonas de alta montaña poco accesibles, lo que ha dificultado el estudio de su composición química y nutricional. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la composición nutricional y el perfil de macro y micronutrientes de especies silvestres de frutos del género Rubus colectadas en Sinaloa, México. Muestras botánicas de Rubus silvestres fueron identificadas y depositadas en el Herbario del Insituto de Biología de la UNAM. Posteriormente se les evaluó la composicón química, el perfil de perfil de carbohidratos, lípidos y minerales. Las especies silvestres de Rubus fueron identificadas como Rubus liebmannii, Rubus coriifolius y Rubus palmeri. Además, se encontró que Rubus liebmannii, es la primera vez que se registra para el estado de Sinaloa. Asimismo, los resultados muestran que los carbohidratos representan la mayor proporción de los macro-componentes (85 %, glucosa y fructosa); tiene un alto contenido de ácidos grasos (como ácido linolénico) y son fuentes ricas de minerales (como K, Ca y Mg). Los resultados de la presente investigación podrían ser de relevancia para ser utilizados en el mejoramiento genético de especies comerciales que actualmente existen en el mercado.

Andean Blackberry fruits (Rubus glaucus Benth) have promising market potential with notable nutritional and antioxidant properties; however, their limited 3-6day shelf-life presents considerable challenges. A flash vacuum expansion (FVE) process coupled with vacuum de-pulping was used to obtain puree from blackberry fruits. Different steam heating holding times (53, 75, 85, and 95 s) were tested at a pressure of 130 kPa. After FVE and vacuum de-pulping (5kPa), various parameters, including alcohol insoluble residues (AIR), residual activity of polyphenol oxidase (RAPPO), anthocyanins, ascorbic acid and ellagitannin retention, rheological properties, and microbial reduction, were evaluated in the purees. Optimal steam heating time of 85 seconds was selected for the FVE process, showing outstanding retention rates of 98% for cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and 88% for ascorbic acid, along with enhanced ellagitannins extraction from torus and seed blackberries into the puree. The purees displayed a gradual shear-thinning flow behavior, positively correlated with the increase in %AIR. A reduction greater than 5 Log10 CFU / mL was achieved for molds, yeasts, aerobic mesophilic, and coliforms counts for all the treatments. Nectar and sweetened puree products developed from the optimal FVE processed puree, received favorable acceptance from consumers, with a high intention to purchase. The findings demonstrated that this innovative process has great potential for developing of high-quality products.

The genus Rubus encompasses over 1000 species, including raspberries and blackberries, known for their rich nutritional and health-promoting properties. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the nutritional values, health benefits, and potential medical and pharmaceutical applications of Rubus species. The fruits, roots, shoots, and leaves of these plants are distinguished by their high content of polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals, which contribute to their potent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurodegenerative, and anti-cancer effects. The diverse phytochemical profiles of the Rubus species support their use in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, the Rubus species are valuable as pharmaceutical raw materials due to their bioactive compounds. Despite the focus on a few widely cultivated species, numerous wild and lesser-known Rubus species offer significant untapped potential as functional foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. Future research should explore the detailed mechanisms of their bioactivities, develop effective extraction and formulation techniques, and integrate these findings into public health strategies. The genus Rubus represents a promising resource for enhancing human health and nutrition, as well as for pharmaceutical and medical applications, justifying increased cultivation and utilization of species from this genus.
