Haskap Berries (Lonicera caerulea L.)—a Critical Review of Antioxidant Capacity and Health-Related Studies for Potential Value-Added Products

Metabolomics of Lonicera caerulea fruit during ripening and its relationship with color and antioxidant activity

“…Anthocyanins have several health beneficial effects, such as antiobesity, anti-diabetes, and the enhancement of eye health (Kalt, Hanneken, Milbury, & Tremblay, 2010;Prior et al, 2008;Tsuda et al, 2004). Flavonoids detected in L. caerulea fruit such as the glycosides of quercetin and kaempferol have various health-promoting effects (Celli et al, 2014;Kusznierewicz et al, 2012;Ren et al, 2008). In particular, the biological pharmacological, and medicinal properties of quercetin include the inhibition of human platelet aggregation and protein tyrosine kinase, in addition to anticancer effects (Seeram, Zhang, & Nair, 2003).…”

Stability of Haskap Berry (Lonicera Caerulea L.) Anthocyanins at Different Storage and Processing Conditions

“…The total anthocyanin content (TAC) of haskap berry was found to be up to 13.00 mg cyanidin 3-glucoside (C-3-G) equivalents per g fresh weight (FW) (Bakowska et al, 2007;Fan et al, 2011;Rupasinghe et al, 2012). This berry has much higher antioxidant potential than that reported for blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, bilberry, strawberry, sea buckthorn and black currant (Rop et al, 2011;Celli et al, 2014). juice extraction and subsequently sold as a dried berry product.…”

“…Some varieties and cultivars are currently available in Canada and USA . These berries are either consumed fresh or processed into juice, pastries, jams, ice cream, and dried berries (Celli et al, 2014). Haskap berries have attracted attention for their distinct profile of phenolic phytochemicals (Jurikova et al, 2012).…”

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on physicochemical properties, enzymes activity, and antioxidant capacities of anthocyanins extracts of wild Lonicera caerulea berry

“…The 'Wild' type of L. caerulea berries (hereafter referred to as Wild) is widely known. Different varieties of the plant produce fruits of slightly different size and shape, approximately 2 cm in diameter and weigh between 0.3 g and 2.0 g (Celli, Ghanem, Brooks, & Su, 2014). L. caerulea fruits are known to be rich in vitamin C, with content ranging from 30.5 to 186.6 mg/100 g (fresh) in different varieties, which is higher than that of strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, orange, and blueberries.…”
