Wild Fragaria vesca L. fruits: a rich source of bioactive phytochemicals

aWild Fragaria vesca L. fruits were studied regarding nutritional and phytochemical compounds, and also antioxidant, antibacterial and biofilm formation inhibition activities. The fruits are good sources of carbohydrates (e.g., sucrose), soluble dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic and linolenic acids, as well as other components such as citric and succinic acids, and vitamins B 9 and E (mainly γ-tocopherol). Significant amounts of soluble sugars, citric acid and some amounts of ascorbic acid, vitamins B 9 and E (only α-tocopherol) were found also in the infusions. The hydromethanolic extracts revealed higher amounts of phenolic compounds, mainly ellagic acid derivatives and dihydroflavonol taxifolin-3-O-arabinofuranoside. Consistently, these extracts also showed higher antioxidant and antibacterial activities than the infusions, and were able to inhibit the formation of bacterial biofilms. Despite the lower content of bioactive compounds in the infusions compared to the fruits, both forms could be potentially applied in functional foods and/or nutraceuticals/pharmaceutical formulations.

“…Total polyphenols were spectrophotometrically determined with the F-C method using chlorogenic acid as reference standard, according to a procedure described elsewhere in detail (9). Briefly, the extract (50 and 150 μL for shoot and root extracts, respectively) was mixed with 200 µL of F-C reagent; after 3 min, 400 µL of a supersaturated sodium carbonate solution was added, and the obtained mixture was made up to 10 mL with milli-Q water.…”

“…Nevertheless, to the author's knowledge, there are no reports on nutrients composition of the mentioned parts of F. vesca, as well as, their infusions and decoctions. Only the fruits were studied regarding sugars and organic acids (Doumett et al, 2011;Ornelas-Paz et al, 2013), as also the fruits of the hybrid Fragaria x ananassa Duch. (Hakala, Lapvetelainen, Huopalahti, Kallio & Tahvonen, 2003;Ekholm et al, 2007) concerning minerals content.…”

Fragaria vesca L. (wild strawberry) roots and vegetative parts are commonly used in infusions and decoctions for different medicinal purposes. The composition in nonnutrients (mainly phenolic compounds) has previously been reported, but the contribution in nutritional compounds has not been researched. Therefore, chemical parameters with nutritional role, namely macronutrients, mineral components, some vitamins (ascorbic acid, folate and tocopherols), as well as, fatty acids, soluble sugars and organic acids, present in F. vesca roots and vegetative parts were evaluated using commercial and wild samples. Furthermore, their infusions and decoctions were also fully characterized; as well as the percentages of vitamins and minerals released for the aqueous preparations. The processing steps, the collection region and also the physiological state in which the samples were collected could influence the differences found between commercial and wild samples. The infusion and decoction preparations showed significantly high released percentages of folate and minerals, and also allowed the detection of xylose, proving to be more effective for soluble sugars extraction. Roots and vegetative parts of F. vesca, normally consumed as infusions and decoctions, can be sources of macro and micronutrients.
