“…In addition, the amount of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids is also affected by genetic variation among species, within the same species, and maturity of plant organs at its harvest [19]. The variation in physicochemical characteristics, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activity among different species of Crataegus revealed were well documented by previous studies [15,17,[20][21][22][23].…”

Hawthorn belongs to the Crataegus genus of the Rosaceae family and is an important medicinal plant. Due to its beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity hawthorn has recently become quite a popular herbal medicine in phytotherapy and food applications. In this study, physicochemical characterization (color parameters, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, soluble carbohydrate, total carotenoid, total phenols, and flavonoid contents), antioxidant activity (by ferric-reducing antioxidant power, FRAP assay), and quantification of some individual phenolic compounds of fruits of 15 samples of different hawthorn species (Crataegus spp.) collected from different regions of Iran were investigated. According to findings, the total phenols, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were in the range of 21.19–69.12 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight (dw), 2.44–6.08 mg quercetin equivalent (QUE)/g dw and 0.32–1.84 mmol Fe++/g dw, respectively. Hyperoside (0.87–2.94 mg/g dw), chlorogenic acid (0.06–1.16 mg/g dw), and isoquercetin (0.24–1.59 mg/g dw) were found to be the most abundant phenolic compounds in the extracts of hawthorn fruits. The considerable variations in the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds of hawthorn species were demonstrated by our results. Hence, the evaluation of hawthorn genetic resources could supply precious data for screening genotypes with high bioactive contents for producing natural antioxidants and other phytochemical compounds valuable for food and pharma industries.

“…aronia (Mahmud et al, 2016). Phytochemical composition of 20 phenolic compounds quantified in C. azarolus and C. monogyna fruits were compared (Mraihi et al, 2015). Methanol and ethanol extracts of C. azarolus exerted substantial antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative capacities, which were evaluated by measuring the secreted amounts of the proinflammatory mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and by assaying the mRNA levels of the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-α, IL-β, and Il-6), chemokines (CCL3 and CCL4) and inflammation-sensitive COX2 and iNOS enzymes (Kallassy et al, 2017 (Agalou et al, 2018); 9 compounds were isolated from C. oxyacantha, including 2 new natural products (Ali et al, 2017).…”

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is one of the most famous plants which has been used as natural medicine and nutraceutical. Its phytochemical composition, bioactive compounds and health benefits have been intensively studied and hawthorn preparations may be recognized as classical natural products for cardiovascular health. Polyphenolic compounds of different hawthorn anatomical parts as well as their extracts have been the focus of a majority of these studies, although various other classes of natural health promoting constituents have also been isolated, identified and characterized. Regardless, numerous published reports have particularly focused on the activity mechanisms which are very important for supporting various health benefits. This review summarizes the most recent studies on hawthorn, mainly published since 2015. Search of different databases indicates that approximately 200 publications, which are relevant to phytochemistry and health benefits of Crataegus spp., have appeared since then, most of them have not been included in the existing reviews.

“…In fresh HF of Crataegus monogyna total phenols was determined at level of 62.00 mg 100g -1 FW (Leja et al 2007). C. monogyna fruits are characterized by about 2.0 times higher concentration of total phenolics than yellow fruits of C. azarolus and about 5.0 times higher concentration of total flavonols (Mraihi et al 2013, Mraihi et al 2015. Total amount of total phenolics in peel of C. monogyna fruits collected in Tunisia is between 45.70 ÷ 123.35 mg GAE 100g -1 DW (Mraihi et al 2013).…”

The aim of this study was the preliminary analysis of micronutrient and phytochemical composition as well as antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts obtained from dietary supplements and herbal blends containing dry hawthorn fruits (HF) and hawthorn inflorescences (HI). The study included 15 samples. Total phenols (TPC) and flavonoids content (TFC) of aqueous extracts were determined using colorimetric assay. The antioxidant activity was analyzed by using DPPH and ABTS methods. To analyze the concentration of citric and L-malic acid were used enzymatic analysis, while to analyze of tartaric acid was used colorimetric method. Ascorbic acid and oxalic acid were determined using titration method. Mean TPC and TFC for aqueous extracts with dry HI is nearly 2.5 and 4.0 times higher than in extracts with dry HF, respectively. Results shows that TPC, TFC is positively and highly correlated with fragmentation degree of dry HF. High correlation was observed between TFC and DPPH and ABTS values, while no correlation observed between TPC and antioxidative activity with DPPH and ABTS assays of HF. The analysis of principal component analysis demonstrates different clusters based on the chemical composition separating aqueous extracts with HF from the HI.
