Bilberries and their anthocyanins ameliorate experimental colitis

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2011
AbstractBilberries have positive effects in acute and chronic diarrhea. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) report on improved symptoms upon ingestion. Bilberries contain approximately 10% of anthocyanins (ACs), which have anti‐oxidative, anti‐carcinogenic, and anti‐inflammatory properties. We investigated whether experimental colitis can be

Inhibitory actions of bilberry anthocyanidins on angiogenesis

Phytotherapy Research, 2010
AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the antiangiogenic properties and antioxidant activities (a) of the main anthocyanidins (delphinidin, cyanidin and malvidin) found as constituents in Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) anthocyanosides (VMA) and (b) of N‐acetyl‐l‐cysteine (NAC).

Resveratrol in Raw and Baked Blueberries and Bilberries

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2003
Resveratrol in the fruits of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), the lowbush "wild" blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton), the rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei Reade), and the highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) were measured using a new assay based on high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The LC-MS/

Bilberry Adulteration Using the Food Dye Amaranth

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2006
Vaccinium myrtillus or bilberry fruit is a commonly used herbal product. The usual method of determining the anthocyanin content is a single-wavelength spectrophotometric assay. Using this method, anthocyanin levels of two extracts were found to be 25% as claimed by the manufacturers. When high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used, however,

Chernobyl90Sr in bilberries from Poland

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 1997
As part of a detailed survey on the contamination of Polish forests90Sr activity concentrations were determined in bilberries. Elevated90Sr levels were found in several samples from north-eastern Poland. The calculated maximum90Sr surface contamination was 2 kBq·m−2.
