The red coloration of apple skin is mainly due to anthocyanins that are reported to possess health benefits. The aim of the present study was to determine the anthocyanin content in three underutilized Malus pumila Mill cultivars, Cranberry, Kerr, and Niedzwetzkyana, and confirm their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Our analysis revealed that the three cultivars studied contained ...

this research was conducted to study morphological and evaluation of genetic diversity of 15 grape cultivars in collections of agriculture and natural resources, research center of khorasan razavi based on completely randomized design with four replications. results showed extensive range of variations among cultivars and measured traits. in some key traits of tests for distinctness uniformity ...

There are light-yellow flower cultivars of sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus L.), but no deep-yellow ones. Observation flowers under ultraviolet and blue light suggested that carotenoids responsible for the coloration. We carried out both spectroscopic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses floral extracts a cultivar, ‘Artemis’, revealed pigments not flavonoids, carotenoids, among wh...

Abstract One of the major issues with pomegranate production in arid and semi-arid climate is white arils fruit. The known plant regulators abscisic jasmonic acids play a variety roles growth reduction abiotic stresses. However, little about their application to improve quality fruit, particularly arils, environments. Herein, experiments, this study, were performed two consecutive seasons 2020 ...

Dietary modulation of the gut microbiota has recently received considerable attention. It is well established that consumption berries confers a number health benefits. We previously reported black raspberry (BRB)-rich diet effectively modulates microbiota. Given role anthocyanins in benefits berries, coupled with interactions microbial metabolites host health, objective this follow-up study wa...

Simultaneous comparison of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L) fruits for their anthocyanin composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity is reported. The aim of this study was to investigate and to compare anthocyanin composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity in bilberry and blueberry fruits and their skins. The investigations revealed that ...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of the solvent on the extraction of antioxidant compounds from black mulberry (Morus nigra), blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius) and strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). Different extracts of each berry were evaluated from the determination of total phenolic content, anthocyanin content and antioxidant capacity, and data were applied to the principal component ...

An anthocyanin-rich extract, generated from açai (AEA), was investigated for its antioxidant properties and antiproliferative activity against C-6 rat brain glioma cells and MDA-468 human breast cancer cells. AEA has an ORAC value of 2589 lmoles trolox equivalents (TE)/g dried powder and a DPPH radical-scavenging activity of 1208 lmoles TE/g, suggesting that AEA is an exceptional source of natu...

High temperature is one of the most important environmental factors that affect the successful cultivation of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh). The expression of genes related with anthocyanin synthesis and sugar accumulation by high temperature treatment was investigated in the fruits of “Fuji” apple at different developmental stages in different temperature conditions through realtime PCR. In ...
