“…Flowering quince fruits contained significantly the lowest level of vitamin C (Table 1). A higher content of vitamin C in flowering quince fruits was obtained by Ros et al (2004) and Tang et al (2009), and it ranged from 30 mg·100 g -1 f.w. to 64 mg·100 g -1 f.w.…”

SummaryThe ornamental plants with edible fruits can play several important functions, ensuring food for the wild animals and embellishing city parks, also these fruits contain high level of bioactive compounds and therefore provide valuable endorsement to the everyday diet. The previous studies of chemical composition of such fruits were fragmentary and superficial. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to analyse the content of major bioactive substances in these fruits.The experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Division of Organic Food in 2010. The fruits of rowanberry (Sorbus aucuparia L.), flowering quince (Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach), wild rose (Rosa rugosa Thunb.) and berry apple (Malus baccata) were selected for the study. The content of dry matter (by gravimetric method), vitamin C (by colorimetric method), carotenoids and polyphenols (by HPLC) have been determined. The results collected indicate that the fruits of wild rose were characterized by the highest diversity of biologically active compounds among the species examined. At the same time, in these fruits the highest content of vitamin C, lycopene, gallic acid, D-quercetin glucoside, and myricetin has been found compared to the fruits of the other species tested. The highest content of beta-carotene was typical for rowanberry fruits and they contained chlorogenic and caffeic acids as well as quercetin and luteolin which were not detected in the fruits of the other species. Flowering quince and berry apple fruits contained significantly more lutein in comparison with other unusual fruit species examined.

“…It is known as an antitussive, antiflatulent and diuretic agent in folk medicine. CSF is rich in dietary fibre, organic acids and bioactive pentacyclic triterpene acids such as oleanolic acid and ursolic acid and large amounts of bioactive phenolic acids and vitamin C (Hamauzu et al, 2008;Ros et al, 2004;Thomas et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 2007). Flavonoid is one of the main phytochemical constituents in CSF and has been proven effective in preventing free radical-caused oxidative damage (Hamauzu et al, 2005;Zhou et al, 2007;Hu et al, 2008).…”

This study was conducted to explore antioxidative property and antiatherosclerotic effects of the powder processed from Chaenomeles speciosa. Chaenomeles speciosa powder (CSP) was rich in vitamin C and polyphenols. The ferric reducing antioxidant power of CSP was 173 ± 7 µmol Fe2+/g and the scavenging activity on 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH•) andwere 945 ± 20 µg DPPH•/g and 700 ± 21 U/mL, respectively. We further tested antiatherosclerotic effects of CSP in ApoE–/– mice which was fed a high‐fat diet for 16 weeks. Both 5 and 10% CSP dietary supplement significantly reduced serum low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol levels (P < 0.05). Comparing with normal group, there was a significant increase of glutathione peroxidase activity and total antioxidative capacity, and a reduction of relative atherosclerotic plaque area of aortic sinus and aortic arch in ApoE–/– mice supplemented with 5 and 10% CSP (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that CSP has potent antioxidative ability and available antiatherosclerotic effects. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Chaenomeles speciosa has been cultivated widely in Chongqing for hundreds of years and it is also a traditional herb for the Chinese because of its many health preventive potentials. After effects of the processed powder with antioxidation and antiatherosclerotic were testified in our experiments, Chaenomeles speciosa powder can be considered as a beneficial dietary supplement for improving human health, especially in preventing atherogenesis, which does not due to the synergistic effect of antioxidants with more kinds of antioxidants substances, such as vitamin C.
