The effect of Rosa Roxburghii extract on imparting relief from sun induced irritation and inflammation

Comparative characterization and sensory significance of volatile compounds in Rosa roxburghii Tratt fruit from five geographic locations in Guizhou, China

“…• Using headspace-solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, 67 volatile compounds including alcohols (7), esters (32), acids (6), aldehydes (6), ketones (5), terpenes (2) and aromatics ( 9) can be extracted from the hips (cili) of Rosa roxburghii Tratt f. normalis from five geographically different locations in Guizhou province;…”

“…Rosa roxburghii Tratt (Rosaceae), commonly known as Chestnut rose, is native to China where it is widely distributed in the southern and north‐west provinces 1 . It is considered to be an important natural resource 2,3 ; valued for its medicinal properties because its flowers, hips, seeds, stems, leaves and roots are rich in bioactive compounds with beneficial human physiological and medicinal effects, including immune regulation, blood sugar regulation, digestion and protection against metal toxicity, solar radiation and its mutagenic effects, oxidative stress and arteriosclerosis 4‐10 …”

“…immune regulation, blood sugar regulation, digestion and protection against metal toxicity, solar radiation and its mutagenic effects, oxidative stress and arteriosclerosis. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The hips are pseudo fruits; botanically known as hypanthia. 11 They are locally known as cili (Mandarin Chinese meaning spiny pear) and are rich in ascorbic acid, flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, a variety of essential amino acids and superoxide dismutase.…”
