Wild Bilberries – Superfood or Health Risk
Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2023 Wild bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) were collected from 23 sites in Finland, dried, ground, homogenized and pressed into pellets. The pellets were irradiated in air with a 3 MeV proton beam from the Åbo Akademi MGC-20 cyclotron. The induced X-rays were measured, and elemental concentrations were calculated from the peak areas in the spectra ...
