“…The most commonly used parts are flowers and fruits, which are used for a range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Elderberry fruits contain many basic nutrients, such as carbohydrates (18%), composed of simple sugars (up to 11%) and fiber (7%), proteins (3%), lipids (22% in seeds), vitamins (provitamin A, vitamin C, B complex vitamins, and tocopherols), and mineral compounds (Kislichenko and Vel'ma, 2006;Vulić et al, 2008;Akbulut et al, 2009;Kołodziej et al, 2012).…”

We investigated the effects of supplementation of yogurt with elderberry juice (Sambucus nigra L.), in both natural and restructured forms, on certain technological, physicochemical, sensory, and health-promoting properties of yogurt, including antioxidant activity and inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), α-amylase, and α-glucosidase activity. Consumer acceptance of the yogurt-juice products was assessed. Gel-strength restructured elderberry juice retained a spherical shape and most of the juice, despite decreasing in mass from 57.2 to 50.9 g during storage. As a result, yogurt supplemented with 10 and 25% restructured elderberry juice appeared to be more desirable from a sensory and technological perspective than yogurt with natural juice. Yogurt supplemented with restructured elderberry juice had a high water-holding capacity (94.4-96.4%), exhibited no spontaneous whey syneresis, and maintained a dense consistency (up to 5,626 g). Consumer penalty analysis of the just-about-right diagnostic attributes indicated that the flavor of these yogurts may not be sufficiently refreshing. High correlation was demonstrated between ACE inhibition, ABTS, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase in yogurt supplemented with restructured juice. An in vitro gastrointestinal simulation estimated bioaccessibility of antioxidants to be in the range of 62 to 66%. This model fermented yogurt supplemented with restructured elderberry juice is a novel dairy-juice beverage that represents a new approach for the development of functional fruit yogurt beverages.

“…In Mexico, many leaves and flowers had been consumed prior to the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica, and this habit persists at present by people of all economic levels [4]. Many seeds, leaves and flowers of wild plants are highly consumed in Africa, but Mexico and Central America are probably some of the few areas where many flowers are also used as food [5][6][7].…”

Nutrient and antinutritional/toxic factors present in some edible flowers consumed in Mexico were determined. The edible flowers were: Agave salmiana, Aloe vera, Arbutus xalapensis, Cucurbita pepo (cultivated), Erythrina americana, Erythrina caribaea, Euphorbia radians benth and Yucca filifera. The nutrient content in the flowers studied is similar to that of the edible leaves and flowers studied mainly in Africa. The moisture content of the flowers varied from 860 to 932 g kg(-1). Crude protein (CP) was between 113 to 275 g kg(-1) DM, crude fiber, 104 to 177 g kg(-1) DM and the nitrogen free extract, between 425 to 667 g kg(-1) DM. The highest chemical score (CS) was found in E. americana and A. salmiana; in five samples the limiting amino acid was lysine, and in three of them it was tryptophan. Trypsin inhibitors and hemaglutinnins had a very low concentration. Alkaloids were present in both the Erythrina species and the saponins in A. salmiana and Y. filifera. Cyanogenic glucosides were not found in the studied flowers. The traditional process of preparing these specific flowers before consumption is by cooking them and discarding the broth; in this way the toxic substances are diminished or eliminated. These edible flowers from wild plants consumed in local areas of the country play an important role in the diet of the people at least during the short time of the season where they are blooming.

“…The mineral matter content represents 0.90-1.55% of the fruit mass, and includes K (2953-5494 mg/kg FW), P (735-1337), Ca (574-1528), , , , Zn (1.9-11.3), Mn (3.6-9.5), Cu (1.7-2.9). Additionally, berries contain also heavy metals such as lead (0.016-0.098 mg/kg FW) and cadmium (0.039-0.053), as well as nitrates (V) (2.63-3.21 mg/kg FW) and nitrates (III) (0.69-0.86) (Akbulut, Ercisli, & Tosun, 2009;Borowska, Zadernowski, Waźbińska, & Puczel, 2000;Diviš, Pořízka, Vespalcová, Matějíček, & Kaplan, 2015;Dulf, Oroian, Vodnar, Socaciu, & Pintea, 2013;Fazio, Plastina, Meijerink, Witkamp, & Gabriele, 2013;Kislichenko & Vel'ma, 2006;Kołodziej, Maksymiec, Drożdżal, & Antonkiewicz, 2012;Mratinić & Fotirić, 2007;Ognik, Rusinek, Sembratowicz, & Truchliński, 2006;Veberic, Jakopic, Stampar, & Schmitzer, 2009;Vulić, Vračar, & Šumić, 2008). Elderberry fruit and flowers also include essential oils (around 0.01% in fruit), consisting of approx.…”
