“…Furthermore, it had a higher IC 50 value compared to the standard antidiabetic drug acarbose. The obtained results were in line with the literature, which showed higher α-Glc inhibitory activity of hawthorn fruit extracts than acarbose and a positive correlation with the total content of phenolics and individual polyphenols [4,55]. In vitro and in vivo experiments proved the antidiabetic activity of hawthorn fruit extracts [4].…”

Plant-based food represents an excellent source of different nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as phenolics, carotenoids, vitamins, etc., with proven health benefits for humans. The content of selected phytochemicals, polyphenolic profile, and biological activity (antioxidant potential and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity) of fruit extracts of medlar (Mespilus germanica L.), blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.), and common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq.), the neglected Rosaceae species originated from Serbia were studied. Targeted UHPLC/(−)HESI–MS/MS quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds revealed pinocembrin only in medlar fruit extract, and it is the first report of this flavanone in medlar fruits. Total phenolic content did not differ between extracts, whereas significant differences were observed for the contents of total flavonoids, total phenolic acids, and total gallotannins. Monomeric anthocyanins and total anthocyanins were significantly higher in blackthorn compared to medlar and hawthorn fruit extracts (p < 0.05). DPPH· and ABTS·+ scavenging activities for examined fruits were modest compared to other natural antioxidants and BHT. The most potent inhibitory activity toward α-glucosidase expressed medlar and blackthorn extracts with IC50 values of 129.46 and 199.84 μg/mL, respectively, which was higher compared to the standard drug acarbose.

Hawthorn (Crataegus) fruit, which is traditionally used as a folk medicine, has been commonly used in pharmaceuticals due to its positive neuro- and cardio-selective effects in recent years. Drying is a practical approach for the long-term storage of hawthorn fruits due to their high annual abundance. This study aimed to compare the effects of oven-drying and freeze-drying methods on the quality, bioactivity, volatiles, and surface structure of hawthorn fruits. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity (IC50) were used to compare the bioactive properties of the fresh and dried fruits. The volatiles of fresh and dried hawthorn fruits were determined by GC-MS. The TPC and TFC of freeze-dried fruit extracts were markedly higher than those of fresh and oven-dried fruit extracts (p

“…The pseudo-fruit of the plant, often called 'rosehip', is one of the most important types of wild fruit used in the preparation of tisanes and other herbal teas [22]. This also provides a substantial potential for the use of rosehip on domestic and international markets [23]. Due to its nutritional value and sensory properties, rosehip is widely used in the food industry for the production of marmalade, jams, probiotics, various drinks, fruit yogurts, soups and rose hip extract are commonly used in the soft drink industry [24].…”

Tisane is a fruit or herbal infusion, commonly referred to as herbal tea. These products are consumed as part of a balanced diet, which is closely related to the trend of a healthier lifestyle. In this work, tisanes prepared from rosehip (R), and herbal mixtures containing rosehip/hibiscus flowers (R/H) and rosehip/hibiscus flowers/saffron (R/H/S) were studied. Rosehip was dried by the convective drying method at 40, 50 and 60 °C. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total flavonol content (TFlC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), antioxidant properties (DPPH∙ and ABTS∙+ assays) and in vitro inhibitory potential toward α-amylase of tisanes were examined. The highest TPC (based on dry weight (dw)) was measured in tisane obtained from rosehip dried at 60 °C (37.84 mg GAE/g dw). Tisanes prepared from a R/H/S mixture had the highest values of TFC (4.66–6.13 mg QUE/g dw), TFlC (2.67–3.98 mg QUE/g dw) and TAC (1.35–2.27 mg Cy 3-glc/g dw). The highest DPPH∙ scavenging activity (53.42 mg TE/g dw) was measured in rosehip (dried at 60 °C) tisane, whereas tisane prepared from a rosehip (dried at 60 °C)/hibiscus mixture expressed the best ABTS∙+ scavenging activity (107.44 mg TE/g dw). All tisane samples expressed high inhibitory potential toward α-amylase, with the highest activity of 85.03% and 89.90%, measured for tisanes prepared from rosehip/hibiscus flowers mixture (rosehip dried at 50 and 60 °C, respectively).
