Determination of Biologically Active Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity In Vitro in Fruit of Small Cranberries ( L.) Growing in Natural Habitats in Lithuania.

The composition of flavonols, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, triterpene compounds, and chlorogenic acid in small cranberry fruit samples collected in natural habitats in Lithuania and variation in the antioxidant capacity of cranberry fruit extracts was determined. This study showed that in the flavonol group, hyperoside and myricetin-3--galactoside predominated in cranberry fruit samples; in the anthocyanin group, the predominant compounds were cyanidin-3--galactoside, cyanidin-3--arabinoside, peonidin-3--galactoside, and peonidin-3--arabinoside, and in the group of triterpene compounds, ursolic acid was predominant. The highest total amounts of flavonols and anthocyanins were found in the samples collected in Čepkeliai State Strict Nature Reserve (2079.

Comparative In Vitro Study: Assessing Phytochemical, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Anticancer Properties of Aiton and L. Fruit Extracts.

The phytochemical diversity and potential health benefits of and fruits call for further scientific inquiry. Our study aimed to determine the phytochemical composition of extracts from these fruits and assess their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties in vitro. It was found that the ethanolic extracts of and fruits, which contained more lipophilic compounds, had 2-14 times lower antioxidant activity compared to the dry aqueous extracts of cranberry fruit, which contained more hydrophilic compounds.

Variability in the Qualitative and Quantitative Composition of Phenolic Compounds and the Antioxidant Activity of Sour Cherry ( L.) Leaves.

Sour cherry ( L.) is a deciduous tree belonging to the Juss. family.

Edible Gels with Cranberry Extract: Evaluation of Anthocyanin Release Kinetics.

The bioactive compounds found in cranberry fruit are natural antioxidants, and their consumption reduces the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and urinary tract infections. Oral gels with cranberry fruit extract are a promising product that can ensure accurate dosage and release of the active compounds and are suitable for people with dysphagia. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of polymeric materials on the dissolution kinetics of cranberry fruit anthocyanins from gel formulations.

Phytochemical Composition of Cranberry ( L.) Fruits Growing in Protected Areas of Lithuania.

The fruits of L. are an important source of bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies on the phytochemical analysis of cranberry fruit samples showed that the qualitative and quantitative composition of biologically active compounds varied in cranberry fruit samples collected from different types of wetland sites: the total anthocyanin content was 698 ± 24-8352 ± 200 µg/g, the total flavonol content-518 ± 16-2811 ± 31 µg/g, the total content of triterpene compounds-4060 ± 122-6542 ± 157 µg/g, the content of chlorogenic acid-17 ± 0.
