“…Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, Harbourne et al studied the phenolic content of aqueous F. ulmaria extracts for their incorporation into a beverage as a functional ingredient [2]. It has been shown that meadowsweet contains phenolic constituents such as flavonoid aglycons (e.g., quercetin, kaempferol), glycosylated flavonoids (e.g., rutin, hyperoside, quercitrin, avicularin, astragalin), and hydrolysable tannins (tellimagrandin I and II, rugosin A, B, D, and E) as well as salicylates (salicylic acid, methyl salicylate, salicylaldehyde, salicylalcohol and their glycosides) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Only a limited number of non-phenolic constituents such as phytosterols, carotenoids, triterpenes, and chlorophyll derivatives have been reported [7,10,11].…”
