“…The obtained phenolics profiles could be a valuable starting point in order to justify the observed biological activities. High phenolics content, particularly gallic acid, vanillic acid, and benzoic acid, are responsible for well-known health benefits 9 , 14 , 36 .…”

The current study was carried out to evaluate multicomponent pattern, biological and enzymatic activities of seven Asphodeline taxa root extracts as useful ingredients, due to the fact that these plants are commonly used as traditional food supplements in Turkish regions. The extracts were characterized for free anthraquinones and phenolics to obtain a specific chemical fingerprint useful for quality control. These analyzes were coupled to biological and enzymatic activities in order to obtain comprehensive information of the natural product. Free anthraquinones and phenolics were determined using validated HPLC-PDA methods. Antioxidant properties were determined by different procedures including free radical scavenging, reducing power, phosphomolybdenum and metal chelating assays. Ames assay was performed to evaluate mutagenic/antimutagenic properties. Enzyme inhibitory activities were tested against cholinesterase, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase. From the herein reported results, Asphodeline could be valuable for the production of bioactive products or food supplements for cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

“…As the phenolics protect plant organisms against harmful environmental factors, they are found concentrated in the skin/peel of a fruit. With the kiwiberry, the skin or peel is associated with phenolic concentrations that are much higher than in the pulp [ 12 ]. The higher amount of phenolics may possibly reflect exposure levels to various environmental stress factors.…”

“…The concentration of such a large number of different compounds in a single fruit is rare. A great advantage of the kiwiberry (over kiwifruit) is its delicate, edible grape-like skin, which contains up to 15 times more antioxidants than the fruit pulp [ 11 , 12 ]. In contrast to the kiwiberry, kiwifruit requires a tough, fuzzy, unpalatable skin to be peeled prior to eating.…”

The kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta) is a new product on the market that is enjoying growing consumer acceptance around the world. This widespread interest has created increased demand for identification of the kiwiberry’s nutritional health benefits. Containing over 20 essential nutrients and a range of vitamins, the kiwiberry comes near the top of fruits classed as superfoods. It is one of the richest sources of vitamin C with up to 430 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) and is considered the richest dietary source of myo-inositol (up to 982 mg/100 g FW). The kiwiberry is also one of the richest sources of lutein (up to 0.93 mg/100 g FW) in commonly consumed fruit. Furthermore, containing up to 1301.1 mg/100 g FW phenolics and significant amounts of the essential minerals of potassium, calcium and zinc, the kiwiberry rates very highly as a ‘healthy food’. The type and number of this fruit’s medicinally promising nutrients have motivated ongoing investigations into its antioxidant, anti-tumour and anti-inflammatory properties. Early research has pointed to the kiwiberry being a very promising treatment for some cancers and health issues involving the gastrointestinal system, hypercholesterolemia and certain cancers. A pharmaceutical composition of A. arguta, A. kolomikta, and A. polygama extracts has already been registered for the prevention and treatment of some immune (inflammatory) mediated diseases, as well as the treatment of some non-allergic inflammatory diseases. This paper reviews and highlights the limited nutritional and therapeutic information currently available on the kiwiberry, a minor fruit possessing such major properties.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s11130-017-0637-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In this study, no differences were observed in ascorbic acid levels in the skin of A. arguta 'Ananasnaya' and those of the seedlings. Higher values of ascorbic acid in the fruit are reported by Latocha et al (2015), who determined the sum of L-ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid in 'Ananasnaya' fruit to be 60.6 ± 3.0 mg per 100 g FW (pulp) and 136.9 ± 13.3 mg per 100 g FW (skin), while detecting similar values of 61.3 ± 4.3 mg per 100 g FW (pulp) and 55.0 ± 3.5 mg per 100 g FW (skin) Table 2. Concentration of sugars in tested Actinidia fruit in 'Hayward' fruits.…”

A similar experiment had been conducted by Latocha et al (2015), who used FRAP to evaluate antioxidant activity in six varieties of A. arguta and one variety of A. chinensis var. deliciosa.…”

The Actinidia genus includes a number of commercial fruit species with a wide range of countries of origin. Some species such as A. arguta or A. kolomikta are characterized by a high level of resistance to frost. The aim of this study was to compare the fruit of selected cultivars of kiwiberry. In the kiwiberry fruit, sucrose was the predominant type of sugar. Citric acid was dominant in all samples; it was most represented in the pulp of kiwiberry seedlings and in the skin of kiwiberry ‘Issai’. Kiwiberry fruits feature a higher ascorbic acid content in the skin in comparison with the commercial A. chinensis cultivars. Antioxidant activity of kiwiberry fruit skin was up to 18 times higher than that of the pulp. In view of the kiwiberry fruit having no hair, it is possible to eat the whole fruit, including the skin containing substances beneficial to health.
