“…In comparison, the highest contents were those of fumaric acid (822.2 mg/100 g), citric acid (646.5 mg/100 g), and malic acid (211.5 mg/100 g). Fumaric acid, and its esters, possess the following: anti‐inflammatory, hepatoprotective, analgesic, antitumor, and anti‐intoxication activities, as well as strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus , Escherichia coli , and Salmonella (He et al., 2011 ; Shakya et al., 2014 ).…”

As the national flower of Korea, the Hibiscus syriacus L. (Rose of Sharon) is symbolic in its abundance and is a prominent feature of Korean culture. H. syriacus has played an important role in Korea, not only as an ornamental plant but also as an essential ingredient in folk remedies through its various parts. This study aimed to characterize the nutritional and biochemical composition of each plant unit of H. syriacus “Wonhwa.” The units are namely: the petals, leaves, roots, and sprouts from its seeds. According to the results each unit produced, the sprouts had the highest content of amino acids and fatty acids which adhere to the requirements of nutritionally excellent food ingredients. The petals produced high quantities of glucose, sucrose, and fumaric acid, with the highest antioxidant activity among the four units. The main bioactive compounds detected in H. syriacus extracts in the four units were o‐coumaric acid, p‐coumaric acid, schaftoside, isoschaftoside, apigenin‐6‐C‐glucoside‐7‐o‐glucoside, and kaempferol‐3‐O‐galactoside‐7‐O‐rhamnoside. Overall, the highest number of bioactive compounds, 2 phenolic acids and 22 flavonoids, were identified in the petals. These results suggest the possibility of excellent pharmacological activity in the petals.

“…(SCAN, 2003). Fumaric acid and its esters possess anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, analgesic (Shakya et al 2014), antitumor and anti-intoxication activities (Kuroda et al 1981), as well as strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella (He et al 2011). The esters of fumaric acid (especially, dimethyl fumarate) have been used in the biomedical treatment of psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and granuloma annulare (Schweckendiek 1959;Kreuter et al 2002;Moharregh-Khiabaniet et al 2009;Das et al 2016).The cultivation of plant cells and tissue cultures is well known prospective technology for production of valuable biologically active substances (Steingroewer et al 2013).…”
