Fractionation of an anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract and in vitro antioxidative activity testing

Food Chemistry, 2015
The incidence of chronic diseases increases with advancing age of the population. A commonly discussed cause of chronic diseases is oxidative stress, which occurs in the body when there is an imbalance between the formation and inactivation of so-called reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Liquid extraction of ginseng and bilberry leaves

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal, 2008
The number of diabetes patients continuously increases. Combined application of synthetic drugs and phytopreparations can decrease the negative side effects of drugs. The aim of this study was to create a new antidiabetic drug in the form of a liquid extract based on dry bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and ginseng leaves. Quantification of flavonoids

Is the antioxidative effectiveness of a bilberry extract influenced by encapsulation?

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2014
AbstractBACKGROUNDBilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) have been suggested to have preventive properties against diseases associated with oxidative stress such as colon cancer or inflammatory bowel diseases. Therefore the gastrointestinal tract is regarded as a potential target for prevention. In this study the antioxidative properties of a commercially

Comparison of HPLC Methods for Determination of Anthocyanins and Anthocyanidins in Bilberry Extracts

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004
An HPLC method and an acid hydrolysis HPLC method for the analysis of anthocyanins and anthocyanidins in bilberry extracts have been developed. The HPLC method coupled with a mass detector has identified 11 anthocyanins in bilberry extracts. The method provides anthocyanin profiles that are very useful in verifying the identity of botanical raw ...

Atheroprotective Effects of Bilberry Extracts in Apo E-Deficient Mice

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009
Previous studies have demonstrated that the intake of berry foods was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of two bilberry extracts, one rich in anthocyanins extracted from untreated bilberries (BE) and a second one extracted from yeast-fermented bilberries (FBE), on the ...
