“…These compounds confer anti-inflammatory properties, promote blood glucose uptake in diabetics, and improve lipid metabolism. Moreover, the healthpromoting aspects of other V. opulus genotypes have also been previously reported [3,13,14] and extracts of dried V. opulus fruit possess antimicrobial properties [15]. The seeds of V. opulus are a good source of antioxidants, especially flavonoids [16,17].…”

“…In recent years, increased attention has been paid to lesser known horticultural plants such as saskatoon, honeysuckle, hardy kiwi, elderberry, and cranberry bush because their fruits are rich with biologically active substances known for their antioxidative properties [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The genus Viburnum comprises more than 230 species, many of which are used for ornamental purposes, but the species Viburnum opulus L. (European cranberry bush) is known for its bitter, edible fruits as well.…”

Abstract:Interest in the biochemical composition of Viburnum opulus fruit has intensified due to the food industry's demand for natural vitamins, pigments and other substances that enhance the value of different foods. The present study was conducted to determine the agro-biological and biochemical variability of V. opulus and to select the genotypes that could best serve as sources of health promoting substances. Twelve selected genotypes were evaluated. 'Leningradskaya Otbornaya', V. opulus var. americanum, 'Zarnitsa', and local clone P2 were determined to be the best genotypes for growth in commercial plantations. Fruits of the local clone P3 were characterised by large amounts of total phenolics, ascorbic acid, and reducing sugars. V. opulus var. sargentii and V. opulus var. americanum contained exceptionally large amounts of total phenolics, 1460.0 and 1400.0 mg/100 g, respectively. The amount of ascorbic acid varied from 12.4 to 41.4 mg/100 g, the amount of carotenoids varied from 1.4 to 2.8 mg/100 g, the amount of anthocyanins varied from 23.2 to 44.6 mg/100 g, and the amount of total phenolics varied from 753.0 to 1460.0 mg/100 g. The presence of these large amounts of biologically active compounds enables their use as potent antioxidants. The data describing agro-biological characteristics, biochemical components, and health promoting activities of V. opulus fruits will increase the understanding of this plant and facilitate its use in the food and pharmaceuticals industry.

“…To find some chemical clues of a possible taxonomic value, Lobstein et al determined biflavone amentoflavone content for ca. 60 representative taxa of the genus Viburnum [4]; and amentoflavone was also isolated from V. jucundum [54] and V. pichinchense [56]. Several flavones, 197 -205, were isolated from V. dilatatum, V. grandifolium, and V. davidii Franch [57 -60].…”

“…The genus Viburnum is known to contain triterpenoids (Machida & Kikuchi, 1997;Kagawa et al, 1998;Fukuyama et al, 2002), diterpenoids (Kubo et al, 2001;Fukuyama et al, 2005a), sesquiterpenes (Fukuyama et al, 1996), iridoids (Iwagawa & Hase, 1986;Iwagawa et al, 1990;Çalış et al, 1995;Tomassini et al, 1997), and polyphenols (Machida et al, 1991;Parveen et al, 1998;Lobstein et al, 2003). The biological activities of this plant could be related to these compounds.…”
