Triterpenoid Content of Berries and Leaves of Bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus from Finland and Poland

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2012
Triterpenoid compounds found in free and ester forms in extracts of entire fruits and leaves and in fruit and leaf cuticular waxes of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) collected in Finland and Poland were identified and quantitated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-MS/FID). The main bilberry triterpenoid

Protective Potential and Antidiabetic Activity of Bilberry Leaves in Zucker Rats

Current Nutrition & Food Science, 2020
Objective: The protective potential of Bilberry Leaves Extract (BLE) was studied in the experiment on male diabetic obese Zucker rats (ZDF) rats (Crl:ZUC-Lepr(fa)) with liver metabolism disorders and hyperglycemia. Methods: Animals were fed with or without BLE (2 g/kg b.w.) orally via a gastric tube for 28 days.

Leaves, berries and herbivorous larvae of bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus as sources of metals in food chains at a Cu-Ni smelter site

Chemosphere, 2018
Ericaceous dwarf shrubs, such as bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus, have an important role in nutrient cycling of boreal forests, but in metal polluted environments they also form a link between heavy metal pool of the soil, primary consumers and upper trophic levels.

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

Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Capacity of Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) Leaves in Northern Europe Following Foliar Development and Along Environmental Gradients

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2010
Bilberry is a characteristic field layer species in the boreal forests and is an important forage plant for herbivores of the North European ecosystem. Bilberry leaves contain high levels of phenolic compounds, especially hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonols, catechins, and proanthocyanidins.

Cancer‐preventive activities of secondary metabolites from leaves of the bilberry Vaccinium smallii A. Gray

Phytotherapy Research, 2010
AbstractTen secondary metabolites including flavonoids (1–8), caffeic (9) and chlorogenic (10) acids were structurally identified from the extract of Sakhalin bilberry Vaccinium smallii leaves and studied in vitro as potential cancer‐preventive agents.

Metabolite Profiling of Bilberry and Lingonberry Leaves by LC-ESI-MS/MS

2016
Leaves of wild Vaccinium spp. berries are considered a valuable source of antioxidants, mainly belonging to polyphenols, specifically flavonoids provide significant protection against the development and progression of many chronic pathological conditions including cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardio-vascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Targeted

Characterization of Metabolite Profiles of Leaves of Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2014
Leaves of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) are potential raw materials for food and health care products. Targeted (HPLC-DAD, HPLC-MS, and GC-FID) and nontargeted ((1)H NMR) approaches were applied to study the metabolomic profiles of these leaves.

Phenolic Compounds and Cell Structure in Bilberry Leaves Affected by Emissions from a Zn–Pb Smelter

Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 2006
Vaccinium myrtillus L. is a common shrub in the herbaceous layer of pine forests. In connection with resistance to pollution it has been widely used in the environmental monitoring based on heavy metal accumulations in the foliage. The present study investigates leaves of bilberry growing under influence of emissions from a Zn–Pb smelter. Determination
