“…In recent years, edible berries have attracted much interest due to their high content and wide diversity of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits (Zhao 2007;Seeram 2012;Jimenez-Garcia et al 2013;Nile and Park 2014). Berry fruits are widely consumed in fresh, dried, frozen forms or as processed products, including canned fruits, beverages, jams and yogurts.…”

Edible berries are becoming increasingly popular to consume in fresh, dried, frozen or processed forms due to their high content and wide diversity of bioactive compounds with considerable health benefits. Among the wide variety of phytochemicals found in berries are stilbenes, which demonstrate a broad range of biological and pharmacological activities. Their content depends on many factors, including the cultivar, ripening stage, climatic conditions, agronomic management, storage conditions and postharvest management. However, the application of various abiotic and biotic external stimuli could be a strategy for increasing the production of stilbenes in edible berries. To date, several different elicitors, as inducers of plant secondary metabolite stilbenes, have been applied in different studies. This review focuses on the isolation and identification of stilbenes from edible berries and presents the influence of different external stimuli on their profile in grapes.

“…The frequency of the disease is also higher in Northern Europe (GUJRAL et al, 2012). In cases of these gastrointestinal diseases, the supported idea is the need of a higher proportion of antioxidants, especially polyphenol-rich food, as dietary factors have a wide range of health-protective and anti-infl ammatory effects (FERRETTI et al, 2012;NILE & PARK, 2014).…”

“…Anthocyanins are well known colorants in food industry and potent anticancer and neuroprotective agents with cardiovascular benefi ts as well (NILE & PARK, 2014). Some studies demonstrated that anthocyanin derivatives have also urinary health benefi ts, but the most known antibacterial components of berries are arbutin and its derivatives.…”

“…Some studies demonstrated that anthocyanin derivatives have also urinary health benefi ts, but the most known antibacterial components of berries are arbutin and its derivatives. Therefore, in case of consumption, the content of toxic arbutin should be taken into consideration, as it is a hydroquinone derivate (YANG & JIANG, 2010;IERI et al, 2013;NILE & PARK, 2014). According to our best knowledge, this compound is detected in lingonberry and blueberry (YANG & JIANG, 2010;IERI et al, 2013).…”

Berries, the antioxidant sources of the boreal cold and arid regions

et al. 2016

Chronic gastrointestinal diseases are mostly attached to infl ammation as well as modifi ed redox homeostasis. These diseases cause remarkable health problems in the northern regions of Europe, but as the climate becomes colder, the harvesting of fruit with notable antioxidant content becomes harder. In these regions, polyphenol-rich berries, which can handle the climate, may have pivotal role in the diet. The aim of our study was to determine antioxidant properties of watery extracts of blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum L., bilberry, V. myrtillus L., and lingonberry, V. vitis-idaea L. that may have role in the redox homeostasis of the gastrointestinal region. Data show that these berries notably inhibit the lipid peroxidation, underpinned by reducing power, total polyphenol and ascorbic acid content. The study demonstrates that berries can play a remarkable role in northern European diet, especially when redox homeostasis is imbalanced.

“…Health benefits of these classes of polyphenols include their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects (Nile & Park, 2014;Dragan, Andrica, Serban, & Timar, 2014;Yang et al, 2015). Here, we demonstrated that supplementation of CCPE can decelerate the weight gain and attenuate metabolic disarrangements induced by HF/HS diet.…”

Efeito dos compostos fenólicos do camu-camu e do cupuaçu no desenvolvimento da obesidade e diabetes mellitus tipo 2Ao meu marido Edgard, por seu amor, sua compressão e seu apoio em todas as fases deste trabalho. Você foi a pessoa que mais acreditou desde o começo, e seu incentivo foi fundamental! Obrigada por mudar sua vida para poder realizar um sonho meu! Aos meus pais Marina e Luiz Carlos e à minha irmã e amiga Marta pelo carinho, apoio incondicional e por sempre demonstrarem orgulho desta jornada.À minha querida prima e amiga Camila e ao meu irmão Roberto, mesmo que distantes fisicamente, por me tranquilizarem nos momentos difíceis e por me inspiraram como pesquisadores.Aos meus colegas de laboratório e amigos queridos: Alice, Carlos, Ciça, Daniel, Diully, Flavinha, Gabi Cunha, Gabi Pedrosa, Helô, Luana, Marcela, Marcio, Renata e Taty pela companhia, amizade e troca de conhecimentos, obrigada a todos vocês! À Fernanda Santana, por sua amizade e ajuda com as análises de lipídeos.À Beatriz Mendonça, "minha filhinha" querida, pela participação na parte experimental, sempre com comprometimento e alegria.À Joana, por nos ajudar a manter o "antigo" laboratório em ordem. The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes reached epidemic proportions in recent years, arriving to billions of people around the world. The discovery of innovative ways that can reduce the metabolic abnormalities associated with these diseases is essential to minimize its impact on the population's quality of life and the economy of the countries. Many studies have demonstrated that food bioactive compounds have beneficial health effects. Camu-camu and cupuassu are native fruits of the Amazon region with unexplored agroeconomic potential, which contain a large number of phytochemical compounds that can act on body metabolism.Thus, the objective of this study was verify the effects of phenolic compounds of camu-camu and cupuassu extracts on the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes in vivo and in vitro, and identfy the possible metabolites involved in these effects. The phenolic compound-rich extracts were obtained from commercial frozen fruit pulps by solid phase extraction, characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/DAD) and evaluated for inhibition of digestive enzymes activities in vitro. Then, the extracts were tested at two different doses (2.25 and 4.5 mg catechin equivalents/kg body weight for cupuassu; 7 and 14 mg of gallic acid equivalents/kg body weight for camu camu) in an animal model (C57BL/6J mice) of obesity and insulin resistance induced by high fat high sucrose diet. The effects of extract supplementation on glucose and lipid homeostasis were assessed by serum analysis, insulin and glucose tolerance tests in mice, and contents of fat in liver and fecal samples.Camu camu extract presented flavonols, ellagic acid and ellagitannins in its composition.Supplementation with camu camu phenolic extract reduced weight gain and decreased glucose and insulin intolerance independent of the dose administered.
