“…P. padus fruits showed the following bioactive compound composition: four cinnamic acids (caffeic, chlorogenic, coumaric, and ferulic acids), four flavonols (hyperoside, quercetin, quercitrin, rutin), two benzoic acids (ellagic and gallic acids), two catechins ((+)catechin, (−)epicatechin), two tannins (castalagin, vescalagin), four monoterpenes (limonene, phellandrene, sabinene, γ-terpinene), three organic acids (citric, oxalic, and quinic acids), and vitamin C (expressed as the sum of ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids). Isoquercitrin, terpinolene, malic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid were not detected, in agreement with P. padus fruit phytochemical fingerprints reported in similar studies [ 1 , 5 ].…”

“…In this research the methods used allowed an accurate and rapid measurement of total anthocyanin content (TAC) and total polyphenolic content (TPC). The TPC, 194.22 ± 32.83 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) on 100 g of fresh weight (FW), and TAC, 147.42 ± 0.58 mg of cyanidin 3- O -glucoside (C3G) on 100 g FW , values obtained from the analyzed extracts ( Table 1 ) were similar to values reported by Kucharska and Oszmianski [ 5 ] and Pasko et al [ 1 ]: in these and other similar studies, TAC in P. padus ranged from 190 to 281 mg C3G /100 g FW , while TPC ranged from 60 to 370 mg GAE /100 g FW . Several internal and external factors such as genetic variability as well as many climatic and environmental conditions (light intensity, humidity, temperature, the use of specific agrotechniques, infections or other stress factors) could determine the differences in phenolic and anthocyanin [ 11 ].…”

“…It flourishes in May and June and its stone fruits with dark purple-red skin and light pulp have high ornamental value. The sticky and flavorless fruits ripen from July to September and fall early [ 5 ]. Bird cherry is a subglobose or globose-ovoidal drupe, 10–12 mm long and about 10 mm wide with a weight of 2–3 g. Bird cherries seem to produce very active metabolites, as cyanogenic glycosides and specific phenols, for qualitative defenses of valuable immature vegetative parts and seeds against herbivores [ 4 ].…”

European bird cherry (Prunus padus L.) has been known since the Middle Ages for its medical/food use and high health-promoting value. This study aimed to assess the potential of these fruits as a source of bioactive compounds through the characterization of its physicochemical traits, nutraceutical properties, phytochemical composition via HPLC fingerprint, and antioxidant capacity. Fully ripened fruits of Prunus padus L. (Colorata cv) were collected in mid-July 2017 in Chieri, north-western Italy. The TPC (194.22 ± 32.83 mgGAE/100 gFW) and TAC (147.42 ± 0.58 mgC3G/100 gFW) values were obtained from the analyzed extracts. The most important phytochemical class was organic acids (48.62 ± 2.31%), followed by polyphenols (35.34 ± 1.80%), monoterpenes (9.36 ± 0.64%), and vitamin C (6.68 ± 0.22%). In this research the most important flavonols selected as marker were quercitrin (16.37 ± 3.51 mg/100 gFW) and quercetin (11.86 ± 2.36 mg/100 gFW). Data were reported based on fresh weight. Moreover, fresh fruits showed a mean antioxidant activity value of 17.78 ± 0.84 mmol Fe2+·kg−1. Even though the seeds and leaves contain cyanogenic glycosides, this study showed that these fruits could be a natural source of bioactive compounds with high antioxidant properties, due to the contents of organic and phenolic acids, catechins, and a synergetic effect of vitamin C and flavonoids.

Anthocyanins are a class of natural compounds common in flowers and vegetables. Because of the increasing preference of consumers for food containing natural colorants and the demonstrated beneficial effects of anthocyanins on human health, it is important to decipher the molecular mechanisms of their action. Previous studies indicated that the anthocyanin cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) modulates the function of the photoreceptor rhodopsin. In this paper, we show using selective excitation (1)H NMR spectroscopy that C3G binds to rhodopsin. Ligand resonances broaden upon rhodopsin addition and rhodopsin resonances exhibit chemical shift changes as well as broadening effects in specific resonances, in an activation state-dependent manner. Furthermore, dark-adapted and light-activated states of rhodopsin show preferences for different C3G species. Molecular docking studies of the flavylium cation, quinoidal base, carbinol pseudobase and chalcone forms of C3G to models of the dark, light-activated and opsin structures of rhodopsin also support this conclusion. The results provide new insights into anthocyanin-protein interactions and may have relevance for the enhancement of night vision by this class of compounds. This work is also the first report of the study of ligand binding to a full-length membrane receptor in detergent micelles by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Such studies were previously hampered by the presence of detergent micelle resonances, a problem overcome by the selective excitation approach.

“…11 times lower in P. spinosa than in P. padus. High concentration of anthocyanins was determined in P. padus fruits by Kucharska et al, [26] while Hwang et al [27] recommend the bark extract of P. padus as a cosmetic agent with natural antioxidant properties.…”

In this study, the total phenolic, total flavonoids, phenolic compounds, the mineral content, and antioxidant activity of fruit extracts of seven wild species (Crataegus monogyna Jacq., Prunus spinosa L., Rosa canina L., Hippophaë rhamnoides L., Rubus fruticosus L., Prunus padus, Cornus mas L.) were investigated. The results indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in the total phenolics and total flavonoids content, between the seven analyzed species. These ranged from 184.69 to 727.29 mg GAE/100 g FW and 17.27 to -165.55 mg QE/100 g FW, respectively. The antioxidant activity found in fruits was not directly affected by the total phenolic content (TPC). This activity was linked to a larger extent to the type of individual phenolic compounds and to a lesser extent to the TPC, because fruits with higher TPC have not always presented the highest values of antioxidant activity. HPLC analysis of methanolic extract showed the presence of phenolic acids trans-cinnamic) and flavonoids (i.e. catechin, epicatechin, rutin, myricetin, and quercetin). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in each individual mineral between fruits from wild flora. The fruits tissues of wild species turned out to be a good source of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), and boron (B). The results demonstrated that wild species possessed great potential for food production as sources of bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds and minerals, for food supplements or functional foods.
