“…The extract obtained by UAE from C. pinnatifida fruits demonstrated higher TPC, TFC and DPPH • scavenging capacity (Park et al, 2017b). Aqueous solutions of citric acid and methanol were compared for C. monogyna fruit; it was found that the former was favorable in terms of total yield, TPC and ascorbic acid, while DPPH • and ABTS •+ scavenging capacity was not dependent on the solvent (Pliszka et al, 2016). Hawthorn seeds, as a byproduct of manufacturing hawthorn juice and jam, were evaluated as a potential new and cheap source of antioxidants and inflammation inhibitor (Huang et al, 2015).…”

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is one of the most famous plants which has been used as natural medicine and nutraceutical. Its phytochemical composition, bioactive compounds and health benefits have been intensively studied and hawthorn preparations may be recognized as classical natural products for cardiovascular health. Polyphenolic compounds of different hawthorn anatomical parts as well as their extracts have been the focus of a majority of these studies, although various other classes of natural health promoting constituents have also been isolated, identified and characterized. Regardless, numerous published reports have particularly focused on the activity mechanisms which are very important for supporting various health benefits. This review summarizes the most recent studies on hawthorn, mainly published since 2015. Search of different databases indicates that approximately 200 publications, which are relevant to phytochemistry and health benefits of Crataegus spp., have appeared since then, most of them have not been included in the existing reviews.

In the past, the beneficial effects of fermented fruits were unknown, and so people primarily used fermentation to preserve fruits, enhance shelf life, and improve flavor. Fermentation of fruits has been adopted over many generations, primarily due to their commercial significance. Edible tropical fruits such as, cashew apple, mangoes, papaya, pineapple, litchi, guava, bael, banana, pomegranate, jamun and palm etc. with high export potential have their origin in the tropics and require rather suitable climatic conditions; and can not tolerate environmental stress. Most of the tropical fruits are important sources of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and form a very healthy part of a diet. An effective utilisation of inferior grade and over-ripe fruits and processing them into fermented beverages has been revealed as a new and promising alternative to generate extra revenues whilst conducting a sustainable exploitation of wastes. In addition, microorganisms contributing to the fermentation process have recently been associated with many health benefits, and so these microorganisms have become another focus of attention. This paper reviews the production techniques and beneficial health effects of different fermented fruits. Scientific advances in the emerging area of functional beverages; as they provide a health benefit beyond the basic nutritional functions also reported in this paper.

Background. American persimmons (Diospyros virginiana L.) are known as a widespread cultivar which were traditionally used by Native Americans as a food source, and since ancient times have been used in folk medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and phenolic content of Diospyros virginiana genotypes. Material and methods. The content of the total antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds from the fruits of the American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana L.) of six genotypes were compared. Antioxidant activity (AOA) was measured using three different photometric methods -DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and FRAP (ferric-reducing antioxidant power). Total phenolic content (TPC) was evaluated using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay. Results. The results for AOA (μMol Trolox/g) determined by the DPPH method varied from 51.68 (DV-05) to 100.87 (DV-03), those obtained by the ABTS method varied from 65.40 (DV-05) to 142.26 (DV-03), and those obtained by the FRAP method varied from 45.06 (DV-05) to 109.30 (DV-03). The results for TPC varied from 590.75 ±27.98 mg/100 g (DV-05) to 1325.12 ±77.30 mg/100 g (DV-03). The highest results for AOA and TPC were achieved for the fruits of genotypes DV-03 and DV-05. A positive linear correlation was found between antioxidant activity and total phenolic content in the examined plant material. Conclusion.The results showed that all fruit extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activities, which generally correlated positively with the total phenolic content. This study demonstrates the potential of the fruits of Diospyros virginiana grown in Ukraine as a possible source of valuable polyphenol content, with high antioxidant activities and health-promoting properties. The high contents of phenolic compounds and significant linear correlation between the values of the concentration of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity indicated that these compounds contributed to the strong antioxidant activity.
