“…Large differences in the content of phenolic compounds depending on the variety of chokeberry, as well as climatic conditions during ripening and harvesting have been indicated. The exemplary TPC values obtained and published for A. melanocarpa fruits are: 40.06 mg GAE (gallic acid)/g [ 62 ], 106,337.20 mg GAE/kg [ 24 ], 690–2560 [ 25 ], 1079–1921 [ 63 ], 3955.28–4393.50 [ 64 ] mg GAE/100 g FW [ 25 ], 10,386–14,350 mg/kg FW [ 24 ].…”

Epidemiological studies have emphasized the association between a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and a lower frequency of occurrence of inflammatory-related disorders. Black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.) is a valuable source of biologically active compounds that have been widely investigated for their role in health promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention. Many in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that consumption of these fruits is associated with significant improvements in hypertension, LDL oxidation, lipid peroxidation, total plasma antioxidant capacity and dyslipidemia. The mechanisms for these beneficial effects include upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, decreased oxidative stress, and inhibition of inflammatory gene expression. Collected findings support the recommendation of such berries as an essential fruit group in a heart-healthy diet. The aim of this review was to summarize the reports on the impact of black chokeberry fruits and extracts against several cardiovascular diseases, e.g., hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, as well as to provide an analysis of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of these fruits in the abovementioned disorders.

This scientific work was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of aromatic plants of Thymus spp. in the East of Ukraine. These plants are known as medicinal and food around the world. All antioxidant parameters were investigated spectrophotometrically: total content of polyphenols (TPC), the total content of phenolic acids (TPAC), the total content of flavonoids (TFC), molybdenum reducing power of extracts (MRP), and antioxidant activity by DPPH method (DPPH). Investigation of ethanolic extracts demonstrated that TPC varied from 57.89 to 123.67 mg/g gallic acid equivalent (GAE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 61.43 to 168.18 mg GAE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 47.36 to 115.67 mg GAE/g for Th. vulgaris. TPAC ranged from 27.36 to 50.22 mg/g caffeic acid equivalent (CAE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 28.58 to 59.62 mg CAE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 22.95 to 53.82 mg CAE/g for Th. vulgaris. TFC was determined in a range from 29.88 to 61.23 mg/g quercetin equivalent (QE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 36.0 to 82.43 mg QE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 24.59 to 55.41 mg QE/g for Th. vulgaris. MRP was detected in the range of 94.65 – 204.76 mg/g Trolox equivalent (TE) DW for Th. pulegioides, 96.06 – 219.0 mg TE/g for Th. serpyllum, and 87.56 – 215.43 mg TE/g for Th. vulgaris. The antioxidant activity of extracts by the DPPH method was 6.34 – 9.23 mg TE/g for Th. pulegioides, 8.11 – 9.21 mg TE/g for Th. serpyllum, and 4.97 – 9.53 mg TE/g for Th. vulgaris. It was established that polyphenol accumulation depended on the growth stage and species. For all species was found a strong correlation between TPC and TFC (r = 0.938, 0.908, and 0.854). Investigated Thymus spp. are a valuable source of antioxidants that can be used in pharmacological studies and the food industry.

“…The search for new plant species, especially neglected and underutilized plant species that are a valuable source of biologically active compounds, and creation on its basis the new generation of nutritional supplements, has recently become an urgent branch of modern biological science, and one of the most important scientific directions (Brindza et al, 2006(Brindza et al, , 2016Klymenko et al, 2017). Guided by these new requirements, an international team of scientists has been studying for several years the content of biologically active compounds in various organs of cultivated new plants to the region (Monka et al, 2014;Ivanišová et al, 2017;Klymenko et al, 2017Klymenko et al, , 2019Horčinová Sedláčková et al, 2018;Grygorieva et al, 2020a, b;Vinogradova et al, 2020).

An international team of scientists continues to study the resource potential of non-conventional or little-utilized plants. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal) fruit (pulp and peel) and seeds were analyzed for their nutritional compositions. Seeds exhibited significantly higher levels of crude protein, lipid, and vitamin E (11.82 %, 34.0 %, and 20.80 mg/kg, respectively) than those of the other parts. Sucrose in pulp was 501.40 g/kg, which was the highest among the samples. There is more fructose in the peel 111.90 g/kg. Results revealed that the total amino acids in the seeds, pulp, and peel of A. triloba were 144.6, 21.1, and 20.9 g/kg, respectively. Among the different plant parts used in this study, the seeds contained the most abundant essential amino acid and non-essential amino acid. The glutamic acid exhibited the highest concentration among the tested amino acids. Oleic and linoleic acids in seeds were 40.13 and 38.84 g/100 g, respectively, which were the highest among the pulp and peel. Potassium was the most abundant essential trace mineral element in different parts. This element is present in large ammounts in the peel (15487 mg/kg) and pulp (12198 mg/kg) compared to the seeds (3888 mg/kg). In the seeds, P, Ca and S were higher (1937, 1368, and 1322 mg/kg, respectively) than in pulp and peel (1046, 450, 499 and 831, 837, 646 mg/kg, respectively). The high content of beneficial substances makes it possible to include Asimina triloba in the list of species recommended for cultivation on a larger scale and to use its products more widely in dietary nutrition.
