“…Among these, Rubus ellipticus Smith, commonly known as yellow Himalayan raspberry, is mostly found in forest edges, and numerous forests exist over wide areas of mountains and lowlands of India and Sri Lanka (Wu et al . ); whereas Rubus niveus Thunb., commonly known as hill raspberry or Mysore raspberry, grows in wild throughout the temperate Himalayan region in India, central and western China, Thailand and the Philippine Islands. Both the species are native to tropical and subtropical India and fruits are edible and used medicinally as astringent, febrifuge, etc.…”

Phytochemicals and antioxidant activity in the fruits of Rubus ellipticus and Rubus niveus were studied. A significant variation (P < 0.05) in total phenolics, flavonoids, monomeric anthocyanins, ascorbic acid and β-carotene content among genotypes of R. ellipticus was observed. Total phenolics ranged from 2.56 to 3.28 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/gram (g) fresh weight (fw) for R. ellipticus and 3.21 mg GAE/g fw for R. niveus. Gallic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid were the major phenolic compounds identified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Antioxidant activity measured by three in vitro assays (i.e., ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferricreducing antioxidant power) demonstrated the utility of both the species as a source of natural antioxidants. Furthermore, the results of this study may provide baseline data for future breeding programs for variety improvement. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSRubus ellipticus and Rubus niveus are important wild edible fruits commonly consumed as food and serve as important ingredients in traditional medicine in Asia. These species are directly collected from wild for consumption. The assessment of the antioxidant properties (ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferric-reducing antioxidant potential), phenolic content and composition of both the species may provide possible role against health benefits and future applications in functional foods and nutraceutical development. Furthermore, the variation in antioxidant properties, phenolic content and other phytochemical composition in different plants may provide baseline data for future breeding programs for variety improvement.

The Western Ghats is a mountain range western coast of the Indian peninsula that covers an area of 160,000 km 2 . It is one of the eight biodiversity hotspots in the world. It contains a very large proportion of the country's flora and fauna, many of which are endemic to this region. According to a survey, the Western Ghats are older than the Himalayas and home to many wild edible fruits that are rarely eaten and are traditionally being used as medicine for several ailments. These wild edible fruits provide a variety of nutrients, vitamins and secondary metabolites. Hence, this review, we documented 28 important wild edible fruiting plants from Western Ghat. The most species of wild edible fruit plants belong to the families of Anacardiaceae, Clusiaceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Moraceae, Rutaceae, etc. Conventionally, tribal and rural people often rely on wild edible fruits for their food, which could provide primary dietary constituents and natural bioactive compounds. In this study, we have precisely recorded the medicinal importance, nutritional constituents, occurrence, and the biological activities of wild edible fruits prevalent to Western Ghat.

Plants are the invaluable, incredible and traditional sources for the curability of various diseases in the form of medicines. Wild food plants, particularly wild fruits, have been an important element in the dietary traditions since the beginning of human civilization. The consumption of locally grown species is gaining an increasing interest, which also gives an important contribution to local communities’ health and welfare. In addition, wild fruits contain higher amounts of nutrients and bioactive compounds than many cultivated species. Fruits play at potential role in uplifting the economic condition as well as providing the food security to the local people. The tribal population stores a vast knowledge on utilization of local plants as food and other specific uses. Uttarakhand has very rich biodiversity also its diverse geographical area attract many people towards it in tourism. Wild edible fruit plants have traditionally occupied an important position in the socio-cultural, spiritual and health area of rural and tribal lives. Because in Uttarakhand theses wild fruits helps in health benefits many of them have medicinal importance, also theses fruits are part of source of income.
