“…In wild asparagus from Sicily quercetin was a major aglycone, and amounts of isorhamnetin and kaempferol were minimal [5]. The main metabolites in wild asparagus from Raviscanina (Italy) were quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-glucoside [8]. Accordingly, the flavonoid glycoside profile of wild asparagus from Istria was the most similar to the south Spain native lines.…”

“…The amount of 7.27 g of kaempferol/kg of black bryony DW is remarkably high and suggests this plant as a great source of this aglycone. Second most prevalent component was quercetin (8) with 6 % of the total identified flavonoid aglycones amount, and isorhamnetin (10) was detected only in traces (0.8 % of the total flavonoid aglycones). When the detection was set at 310 nm (Online Resource, Fig.…”

“…Due to strong potential of their bioactive substances in prevention and inhibition of oxidative damage processes that cause many diseases, among which are neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer [2][3][4], wild edible plants are in focus of interest of numerous studies [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and isorhamnetin-3-Orutinoside were dominant phenolics in all wild asparagus extracts, and salicylic acid was predominant in butcher's often used in diet as diuretic for treatment of several kidney-related disorders [11]. Beneficial effects on human health are related, among other, to a high content of natural antioxidants [8]. High antioxidant capacity is mostly attributed to its phenolic compounds, mainly flavonols, particularly abundant in shoots [6].…”

broom 40 % ethanolic extract. Phenolic acids of the three species were not stable during gastric and duodenal phases of simulated digestion. Two main black bryony kaempferol glycosides were best preserved after digestion (50 % of each). Black bryony contains more energy than wild asparagus and butcher's broom. Accordingly, we propose black bryony as a valuable source of antioxidant kaempferol glycosides with relevant gastrointestinal stability and higher energy content than so far more conventional vegetable wild asparagus.

“…For the ORAC assay final concentration levels of each extract were 3.9, 7.8, 15.62, 31.25, and 62.5 μg/mL. Spectrophotometric measurements were carried out on a Shimadzu UV-1700 spectrophotometer, spectrofluorimetric ones using a Tecan SpectraFluor fluorescence and absorbance reader [15,16]. Tests were carried out performing 3 replicate measurements for three samples (n=3) of each extract (in total, 3×3 measurements).…”

In order to promote breeding programs and a full reintroduction into production of two local red-fleshed apple varieties grown in Bekran and Bastam (Iran), the evaluation of their antioxidant properties was of interest. LC-MS(n) based metabolic fingerprinting analyses were applied to investigate the anthocyanin content of both peel and flesh components of the fruits. Cyanidin-3-O-hexoside isomers were present in both 'Bekran' and 'Bastam' apples, whereas 'Bekran' apple was a valuable source of anthocyanin rutinose derivatives. Employing DPPH(•), ABTS(•+), and ORAC methods, the antiradical efficacy was evaluated. The ability of the investigated fruit components to scavenge OH(•), and O(2) (•-) reactive species was also assessed. ID(50) values highlighted the massive antioxidant response of 'Bekran' peel component, able to counteract by 50 % OH(•), and O(2) (•-) at 130.3 and 91.6 μg/mL, respectively. The cytoprotective screening towards HeLa, HepG2, A549, SH-5YSY, and SK-N-BE(2)-C cell lines evidenced that the investigated Iranian red-fleshed apple fruits were able to exert a significant antioxidant response in hydrogen peroxide oxidized cell systems. Data collected suggested that the revaluation of 'Bekran' and 'Bastam' apple cultivars could represent a precious source of antioxidant compounds whose dietary intake could improve the human well-being reducing risks of free radical related chronic and degenerative diseases.
