“…This use is supported not only by their valuable chemical composition (rich in chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids) but also by the ease of acquisition, harvesting, and drying [1]. Aronia leaves are also of interest for pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries [43,44]. In our previous work, we made similar observations concerning the potential use of leaves of S. chinensis which could be used alternatively to the more popular fruits of this plant [45,46].…”

neochlorogenic acid, and rosmarinic acid (max. 724.2, 482.7, 154.7 mg/100 g DW, respectively). Of the examined materials, A. arbutifolia leaves were characterized by the highest total phenolics content (9148.2 mg gal. ac. Eq./100 g DW) and showed the highest antioxidant activity in DPPH and FRAP assays. The results demonstrate that fruits of A. arbutifolia and A. ×prunifolia are a rich source of antioxidants and can be used as plant raw materials, alternatively to A. melanocarpa berries. Leaves of the investigated species are of potential therapeutic and dietary interest because of their high flavonol and phenolic acid content.

Currently, the incidence of lifestyle diseases is increasing due to inappropriate nutrition and environmental pollution. To prevent these diseases, various groups of bioactive compounds are needed with a broad spectrum of action and without adverse side effects. Polyphenolic compounds are the most widely studied group of this type of compounds. They occur widely in plants, but their content depends on many factors, including the type of plant, climatic conditions, and the date of harvest. The spectrum of bioactivity of phenolic compounds is determined by their chemical structure, concentration, and interaction with other compounds. Traditional recipes have been studied to search for active plant ingredients. Leaves of shrubs and fruit trees were used in folk medicine as a panacea for many diseases and have been forgotten with time, but their benefits are now being rediscovered. In recent years, much new information about biological activity of phenolic compounds from berry bushes (black currant, raspberry, and aronia) was published. This was reviewed and discussed in this article. The mineral content of their leaves was also summarized because minerals constitute a significant component of plant infusions. It has been shown that high antioxidant and biological activity of leaf extracts results from the presence of active phenolic compounds, which occur in definitely higher amounts than in fruits. Therefore, the leaves of berry bushes seem to be a promising source of substances that can be used as replacements for synthetic agents in the treatment and prevention of lifestyle diseases.

“…The chemical composition of A. melanocarpa L. leaves differs depending on the cultivar, climatic zone, maturity stage, and the extraction method used, as mentioned in numerous articles [18,[87][88][89]. Mixed spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods determined the chemical composition of Aronia leaves, from total phenolic content expressed as flavonols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic acids [87,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95], small amounts of chlorophyll, carotenoids [94], carbohydrates, macro and microelements, fibers, and crude fat [96], with mostly high levels of chlorogenic acid, caffeoylquinic acid derivatives, quercetin, rutin, sorbitol, and small amounts of anthocyanins, chlorophyll, carotenoids, macro and microelements, and fibers identified mostly in young leaves compared to mature and old leaves (Figure 4). The antioxidant potential of A. melanocarpa leads to diverse antibacterial, antiviral, anti-hypertensive, anti-aggregating (anti-coagulant), antilipidemic, anti-diabetic, cardio-, gastro-and hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and radioprotective activity [97].…”

“…Accordingly, the extracts vary in their in vitro and in vivo antioxidant and pharmacological capacity. Mixed spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods determined the chemical composition of Aronia leaves, from total phenolic content expressed as flavonols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic acids [ 87 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ], small amounts of chlorophyll, carotenoids [ 94 ], carbohydrates, macro and microelements, fibers, and crude fat [ 96 ], with most of high levels for chlorogenic acid, caffeoylquinic acid derivatives, quercetin, rutin, sorbitol, small amounts of anthocyanins, chlorophyll, carotenoids, macro and microelements, fibers identified mostly in young leaves compared to mature and old leaves.…”

Health Benefits of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds in the Fruits and Leaves of Lonicera caerulea L. and Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot

Lonicera caerulaea L. and Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot fruits are frequently used for their health benefits as they are rich in bioactive compounds. They are recognized as a source of natural and valuable phytonutrients, which makes them a superfood. L. caerulea presents antioxidant activity three to five times higher than other berries which are more commonly consumed, such as blackberries or strawberries. In addition, their ascorbic acid level is the highest among fruits. The species A. melanocarpa is considered one of the richest known sources of antioxidants, surpassing currants, cranberries, blueberries, elderberries, and gooseberries, and contains one of the highest amounts of sorbitol. The non-edible leaves of genus Aronia became more extensively analyzed as a byproduct or waste material due to their high polyphenol, flavonoid, and phenolic acid content, along with a small amount of anthocyanins, which are used as ingredients in nutraceuticals, herbal teas, bio-cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, food and by the pharmaceutical industry. These plants are a rich source of vitamins, tocopherols, folic acid, and carotenoids. However, they remain outside of mainstream fruit consumption, being well known only to a small audience. This review aims to shed light on L. caerulaea and A. melanocarpa and their bioactive compounds as healthy superfoods with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimicrobial, and anti-diabetic effects, and hepato-, cardio-, and neuro-protective potential. In this view, we hope to promote their cultivation and processing, increase their commercial availability, and also highlight the ability of these species to be used as potential nutraceutical sources, helpful for human health.
