“…Cranberries also have anti-adhesion properties for urinary pathogens and antioxidant properties (Hisano et al 2012 ). The active biological compounds present in the cranberries include xyloglucan oligosaccharides such as arabinoxyloglucan oligosaccharides and pectic oligosaccharides (Gardana et al 2020 ). Cranberries maintain gut health and oral health.…”

Nutrition plays a significant role in the prevention and treatment of common diseases. Some superb dietary choices such as functional foods and nutriments can surely help fight against certain diseases and provide various advantages to an individual’s health. Plants have been regarded as a primary source of highly effective conventional drugs leading to the development of potential novel agents, which may boost the treatment. Growing demand for functional foods acts as an aid for the producers to expand in agriculture and pave the way for innovation and research by the nutraceutical industry. The given review highlights how various functional foods such as tomatoes, chocolates, garlic and flaxseed are currently being defined, their sources, benefit in treating various ailments and the challenges with their use.

“…Gardana et al have studied the anthocyanin content in fruit samples of ‘Ben Lear’, ‘Howes’, ‘Stevens’, and ‘Bergman’ cultivars and found that the total anthocyanin content ranged from 2.4 mg/g to 5.6 mg/g [ 44 ]. The total anthocyanin levels (5.07 mg/g in cranberry samples of the ‘Howes’ cultivar and 3.36 mg/g in cranberry samples of the ‘Bergman’ cultivar) that were found by the authors were lower than those found in our study (6.80 mg/g and 5.34 mg/g in fruit samples of the ‘Howes’ and ‘Bergman’ cultivars, respectively) [ 44 ]. Brown et al have examined the anthocyanin composition in fruit samples of cultivars ‘Ben Lear’, ‘Bergman’, ‘GH 1’, ‘Pilgrims’, and ‘Stevens’ and found that the total anthocyanin content ranged from 2.81 mg/g to 7.98 mg/g [ 45 ].…”

Phytogenotypic Anthocyanin Profiles and Antioxidant Activity Variation in Fruit Samples of the American Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton)

In this study, we conducted an analysis of the qualitative and quantitative composition of anthocyanins and anthocyanidins in different cultivars and genetic clones of American cranberries grown in Lithuanian climatic conditions. Four anthocyanin compounds predominated in fruit samples of American cranberry cultivars: cyanidin-3-galactoside, cyanidin-3-arabinoside, peonidin-3-galactoside, and peonidin-3-arabinoside. They accounted for 91.66% ± 2.79% of the total amount of the identified anthocyanins. The total anthocyanin content detected via the pH differential method was found to be by about 1.6 times lower than that detected via the UPLC method. Hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis showed that the ‘Woolman’ cultivar distinguished from other cranberry cultivars in that its samples contained two times the average total amount of anthocyanins (8.13 ± 0.09 mg/g). The group of American cranberry cultivars ‘Howes’, ‘Le Munyon’, and ‘BL-8’ was found to have higher than average levels of anthocyanidin galactosides (means 3.536 ± 0.05 mg/g), anthocyanidins (means 0.319 ± 0.01 mg/g), and total anthocyanins (means 6.549 ± 0.09 mg/g). The evaluation of the antioxidant effect of cranberry fruit sample extracts showed that the greatest radical scavenging activity of the cranberry fruit extracts was determined in the fruit samples of ‘Woolman’ (849.75 ± 10.88 µmol TE/g) and the greatest reducing activity was determined in ‘Le Munyon’ (528.05 ± 12.16 µmol TE/g). The study showed a correlation between the total anthocyanin content and the antiradical and reductive activity of the extracts in vitro (respectively, R = 0.635 and R = 0.507, p < 0.05).

“…In addition, PLS showed good performance in detecting the level of adulteration in cranberry extracts. However, because polyphenolic profiles may not be sufficient alone to detect adulteration, especially if it happens by the addition of raw materials devoid of polyphenolic compounds, Gardana et al (2020) focused on finding other markers for detecting adulteration in cranberry extracts. By using ACN fingerprints, as well as epicatechin/catechin, procyanidin A2/total anthocyanidin, and procyanidin/ACN ratios, adulteration was detected in four commercial extracts and six food supplements.…”

Berries represent one of the most important and high-valued group of modernday health-beneficial "superfoods" whose dietary consumption has been recognized to be beneficial for human health for a long time. In addition to being delicious, berries are rich in nutrients, vitamins, and several bioactive compounds, including carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and hydrolysable tannins. However, due to their high value, berries and berry-based products are often subject to fraudulent adulteration, commonly for economical gain, but also unintentionally due to misidentification of species. Deliberate adulteration often comprises the substitution of high-value berries with lower value counterparts and mislabeling of product contents. As adulteration is deceptive toward customers and presents a risk for public health, food authentication through different methods is applied as a countermeasure. Although many authentication methods have been developed in terms of fast, sensitive, reliable, and low-cost analysis and have been applied in the authentication of a myriad of food products and species, their application on berries and berry-based products is still limited. The present review provides an overview of the development and appli-
