“…Many factors can affect the total antioxidant capacity of fruit such as, cultivar, cultivation site and technique (i.e. inorganic fertilizers or organic manure), rainfall, and mean growing temperature, and may explain differences between our values and those found in the literature (Davik et al 2006;Hakkinen and Torronen 2000;Olsson et al 2006).…”

“…Wang and Lin (2003) speculated that compost applications contributed to increased total antioxidant capacity in strawberries because of these improved physical and chemical soil characteristics and increased soil microbial activity. It has also been shown that organic agricultural practices, compared to conventional practices, increased the antioxidant content of peaches and tomato fruits (Fauriel et al 2007;Hallman and Rembialkowska 2007 Davik et al (2006) found that total antioxidant capacity in strawberries, measured using the FRAP assay, was negatively correlated to rainfall which could also explain the decrease in total antioxidant capacity in the current study as well. Fruit size, soil moisture content, water availability, minimum and maximum temperature just prior to harvest, and hours of sunlight have also been shown to affect antioxidant content of fruit (Davik et al 2006;Dumas et al 2003).…”

“…Numerous works have shown that environmental parameters (light conditions, temperature, irrigation, fertilization or cultivation systems) can affect the antioxidant capacity in strawberries, blackcurrant and other fruits [31][32][33][34]. Blackberries harvested in Augustus and grown in tunnel on soil have higher antioxidant capacity and phenolic content than those grown on substrate (Table 3).…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:Small dark fruits represent one of the most important sources of bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity in the human diet. The content of health-promoting antioxidants in these fruits may be important information to take into account when a fruit producer has to choose which cultivar to grow. OBJECTIVE: It is important to know how antioxidant capacity and antioxidant compounds as total phenolics and ascorbic acid vary between 9 small dark fruit species and for each species among cultivars (2 to 10 per species). METHODS:The antioxidant capacity (ORAC assay), total phenolic (Folin-Ciocalteu) and ascorbic acid content were measured in 9 fruits (plums, blackcurrants, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, redcurrants, raspberries, white currants and gooseberries) / 42 cultivars harvested at maturity during their high production period. RESULTS:The comparison of the average of the various cultivars of each small fruits showed that blackcurrants had the best antioxidant capacity (with plums), the highest ascorbic acid content and the highest total phenolic content (with blackberries). The present study shows that total phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid and antioxidant capacity strongly differed between genotypes of each small dark fruits. Other parameters as harvest time, culture conditions and maturity degree at the harvest may also influence the antioxidant capacity of small fruits. CONCLUSIONS: Among small dark fruits, blackcurrants have high qualities. Choices of variety, harvest time and maturity degree are important for all fruits.

“…Taking the seemingly simple case of strawberries [177] high in lignans, secoisolariciresinol and enterolactone and have among known fruits one of the highest anti-oxidant activity but this is dependent on cultivars [178] or genotype [179]. The human is often driven by flavour which arises from the interaction of volatile and non-volatile components [180,181] which includes more than 200 compounds such as esters, etc.…”

This chapter attempts to step backward in time and space, to consider evolution in the context of chronobiology and chronomics and to then focus on how this science, pioneered by Professor Halberg and his team at the University of Minnesota, can bring improved health benefits to mankind. Although being mindful of this old yet formally modern science, care is taken to include many practical considerations that have a tendency to be sometimes undervalued in research.Evolution continues under the omnipresence of gravity, changing electromagnetic forces, time, space, and Earth's climate and environment as an ecological biogeographical phenomenon that took place extremely slowly in geological time but is now undergoing change at an extraordinary pace in recent times of human evolution and adaption to their environment [1]. Already about 1 out of 3 billion people go hungry [2] (and currently in overall decline) and by 2050 the estimated population is about 9 billion [3]. Great challenges to reduce poverty and hunger lie ahead: people need to be fed but safely, the risk of inflammatory diseases such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disorders needs to be reduced: and one potential area of research concerns chrononutrition. It is by understanding the chronobiological science that underpins health that will enable such goals to be reached.
