Wild blackthorn (Prunus spinosaL.) and hawthorn (Crataegus monogynaJacq.) fruits as valuable sources of antioxidants

Abstract: Wild blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) and hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq.) fruits as valuable sources of antioxidants.Abstract -Introduction. Many underutilized wild fruits have great nutritional and functional potential, providing chemical compounds with biological properties. Materials and methods. In the present work we quantified bioactive compounds such as vitamin C (ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids), and total phenolic compounds composed mainly of phenolic acids, flavonols and anthocyanins, as well as… Show more

“…A wide variability was found in ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid and total vitamin C, with coefficients of variation up to 46.07%. Wide natural variations in vitamin C and many other nutrients' content can be found in edible fruits, as can be seen from data in the scientific literature as well as food nutrient databases [3,12,27,[32][33][34][35]. Different factors may be involved in vitamin C content in the fruits, particularly in wild species, very influenced by climate conditions, due to its high instability at high temperatures or during light exposure.…”

“…Their nutritional role and health uses have been reported in many nutritional and ethnobotanical studies worldwide, as they often contain higher amount of nutrients and bioactive compounds than many cultivated species [2][3][4]. From wild plants, Mediterranean wild fruits could also be considered as interesting high-value sources of antioxidants for nutraceuticals, dietary supplements or functional foods [5], as is the case of unusual wild fruits, such as those of Arbutus unedo L. and Rubus ulmifolius Schott, which may have potential as a source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity.…”

“…Despite being widespread in Spain, its ethnobotanic use is best known in Navarra, where infusions of its branches are used in the treatment of hypertension (Calvo & Cavero, 2014), and its macerated fruits for gastrointestinal disturbances and in the preparation of a type of schnapps called 'pacharan' (Calvo, Akerreta, & Cavero, 2013). It contains substantial quantities of phenolic antioxidants (Ruíz-Rodríguez et al, 2014;Velickovic et al, 2014), including specifically, flavonol heterosides (quercetin and kaempferol), phenolic acids (neochlorogenic and caffeic derivatives), coumarin derivatives as aesculetin, umbelliferone and scopoletin, anthocyanins and type A proanthocyanidins which are a class of secondary metabolites consisting of units of flavan-3-ol bound together by one or two interflavan bonds. Those with twice-bonded structures, type A, are not often found in nature, and their distribution is limited to species of Ericaceae, Hippocastanaceae, Lauraceae and Rosaceae (Irizar, Fernández, González, & Ravelo, 1992;Olszewska & Wolbis, 2002).…”

“…Meyvelerinden elde edilen şurupların pürgatif ya da diüretik olduğu da saptanmıştır 8 . P. spinosanın meyveleri; tokoferoller (α-tokoferol, β-tokoferol, γ-tokoferol, δ-tokoferol), askorbik asit ve β-karoten gibi maddelerin yanında polyfenolik bileşikler ve flavonoitler (kersetin, rutin, hiperosit) içermektedir 6,9 . Bununla beraber, çakal eriği meyvelerinde; bir flavonoit çeşidi olan ve kardiyovasküler koruyucu, antibakteriyal ve antioksidan etkileri olan çeşitli antosiyaninler (siyanidin-3-rutinosit, peonidin-3-rutinozit, siyanidin-3-glikozit) bulunmaktadır 10 .…”
