“…Approved as a medicinal fruit by the Chinese National Health and Wellness Commission [ 4 ], hawthorn has higher dietary fiber, pectin, ascorbic acid, minerals, and antioxidant capacity than some common fruits [ 13 ]. Studies have confirmed that hawthorn is rich in amino acids (8 essential amino acids and 3–8 times more amino acids than fruit), protein (17 times more protein than apple fruit), sugars, minerals (1st in calcium content among fruits), vitamins (vitamins A, C, B1, B2, about 10 times more vitamins), and has a high nutritional value [ 14 ]. Hawthorn is also rich in calcium, vitamin C, and carotene, with the highest calcium content and 890 mg/kg of vitamin, and rich in organic acids, which prevent vitamin C from being completely destroyed even when heated.…”

“…Hawthorn contains 7 mg/g of protein, 2 mg/g of fat, 30–40 mg/g of pectin, 30–50 mg/g of organic acids, 3–8 mg/g of tannins, 0.5–1.5 mg/g of amino acids, 0.89 mg/g of vitamin C, 0.89 mg/g of vitamin D, and 0.65 mg/g of flavonoids [ 15 ]. The crude protein, crude oil, ash, pH, acidity, and total phenolic content of native plants from central Anatolia, Turkey were 3.03%, 1.22%, 2.77%, 4.08, 1.56% and 9.35 mg/g, respectively [ 14 ]. A summary of nutritional composition of hawthorn in different regions can be seen in Table 1 .…”

Hawthorn (Crataegus) is a plant of the Rosaceae family and is widely grown throughout the world as one of the medicinal and edible plants, known as the “nutritious fruit” due to its richness in bioactive substances. Preparations derived from it are used in the formulation of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical products. Rich in amino acids, minerals, pectin, vitamin C, chlorogenic acid, epicatechol, and choline, hawthorn has a high therapeutic and health value. Many studies have shown that hawthorn has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-cardiovascular disease, and digestive enhancing properties. This is related to its bioactive components such as polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, proanthocyanidin B2, epicatechin), flavonoids (proanthocyanidins, mucoxanthin, quercetin, rutin), and pentacyclic triterpenoids (ursolic acid, hawthornic acid, oleanolic acid), which are also its main chemical constituents. This paper briefly reviews the chemical composition, nutritional value, food applications, and the important biological and pharmacological activities of hawthorn. This will contribute to the development of functional foods or nutraceuticals from hawthorn.

“…Following the optimum extraction parameters: 75% v/v ethanol solvent for 85 min extraction time at 80 • C presented in Table 4, the maximum TAC can be obtained around 55.47 µg CyE/g. Thus, it is evident that CM fruit extracts can be anthocyanin-rich extracts with an intense reddish-to-purplish color like CM fruits [43]. Various derivatives of cyanidin, such as cyanidin-O-hexoxide and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, have been identified as anthocyanins in CM fruit [44], contributing to its intense red coloration [45].…”

Crataegus monogyna (CM) fruits are highly regarded for their rich nutritional content, boasting elevated levels of various beneficial secondary metabolites like total polyphenols, including anthocyanins, and ample amounts of ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity. Despite the acknowledged benefits of CM fruits, researchers have directed more attention toward its leaves and flowers. Consequently, the current research attempts to optimize extraction techniques for CM fruit using a multifaceted approach involving varied durations, temperatures, and concentrations of ethanol solvent to isolate the diverse range of bioactive components present effectively. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) is employed for the identification and quantification of polyphenolic compounds. According to the results, by following the optimum extraction parameters (50% ethanolic solvent, 50 °C extraction temperature, and 60 min extraction time), the total polyphenol content can be increased up to 410%, reaching 55.59 mg gallic acid equivalents/g. Using 50% ethanolic solvent, 80 °C extraction temperature, and extraction time of 90 min, the total anthocyanin content can be enhanced by more than 560%, reaching a quantity of 51.83 μg cyanidin equivalents/g. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of CM fruit extracts can reach 415.95 μmol ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE)/g dw (by FRAP method), using 50% ethanolic solvent, 50 °C extraction temperature, and 60 min extraction time, and 270.26 μmol AAE/g dw (by DPPH method) and 1053.28 mg/100 g dw ascorbic acid content, using 50% ethanolic solvent, 80 °C extraction temperature, and 90 min extraction time. This comprehensive study seeks to augment the already substantial content of bioactive compounds found in CM, resulting in an extract with promising applications across the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries.

Medicinal plants have become an increasing subject of interest worldwide due to the large amount of biologically active substances that have potential beneficial health properties. One of the more interesting popular medicinal plants is hawthorn (Crataegusspp.), a deciduous branched shrub that is increasingly used for health purposes. Various parts of this plant, including berries, flowers and leaves, are rich in nutrients and beneficial bioactive compounds that are effective in the treatment of numerous diseases. Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees from plant secretions. Known for its nutritional and medicinal values, it gives strength to the body, which is why it is indispensable in the human diet. The combination of these two ingredients represents a significant source of vitamins and minerals in daily use, but also for use in various pharmaceutical and medical purpose. Taking into account all of the above, the aim of the work is to test samples of the mixture of honey and hawthorn in different proportions and determine the physical and chemical characteristics: pH value, electrical conductivity, refractive index, viscosity, water activity, HMF, DPPH. Based on the analysis, appropriate conclusions will be drawn and more information will be obtained about their quality and possible use as a food supplement. On the basis of the conducted analyses, it can be concluded that the parameter values are within the permitted limits defined by the Rulebook (Official Gazette Bosnia and Herzegovina No. 37/09). The analysis of the mentioned parameters showed that the chemical composition of the sample plays a major role in the value of the measurement results, and that Sample III has the best antioxidant properties.
