Wild Edible Fruits

Turkey has great ecological, topological and geographical diversity within the country and this diversity has contributed not only to a high genetic diversity, but has also allowed the successful introduction and cultivation of a great number of fruit tree taxa. Turkey is also known to have a great richness of wild edible fruits with regard to variety and biological diversity. Rowanberry or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) is one of the wild edible fruits naturally found most parts of Turkey. Present study describes morphological (tree growth habit, fruit color) and biochemical fruit traits (vitamin C, organic acids, specific sugars, total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, total antioxidant capacity) of 17 seed propagated rowanberry genotypes. We found significant differences among almost all studied parameters. The genotypes had diverse L, chroma and hue values, which found between 28.76-42.38%; 24.11-29.45% and 33.13-42.66%, respectively. Among sugars and organic acids, Glucose and Malic acid were dominant in rowanberry fruits, respectively. Total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, vitamin C and antioxidant activity varied from 123-189 mg GAE per 100 g, 18-57 mg per 100 g, 25.6-40.2 mg per 100 g and 3.36-6.92 mM trolox equivalent per 100 g of fresh weight (FW) basis. Results suggest using rowanberry fruits in production of functional foods with high biologically active properties.

Background: Mulukhiya (Corchorus olitorius) richly contains dietary fiber and is suggested to improve bowel movement.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of mulukhiya-derived dietary fiber (MDF) on the intestinal environment in healthy Japanese adult subjects.Methods: This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study enrolled 22 healthy Japanese adult subjects who typically defecate three to five times per week and do not consume enough dietary fiber. All subjects were randomly allocated into the MDF group (4 men and 7 women; 45.1 ± 11.4 years) or the placebo group (3 men and 8 women; 41.6 ± 9.5 years) by using a computerized random number generator. Each subject was administered with assigned 30 tablets (active [77-mg dietary fiber] or placebo) daily for two weeks. We asked the subjects to record their defecation condition in a bowel movement diary from 1 week before the start of test food consumption to the day before two weeks after the start of the test-food consumption (three weeks in total). Then, we evaluated the items in the bowel movement diary such as the occupancy rate of enteric, organic acids in feces, and subjective symptoms related to constipation.Results: At one and two weeks after the start of the test-food consumption, the MDF group exhibited a significant increase in stool days, stool frequency, and stool volume compared with the placebo group (P < 0.05). Regarding the occupancy rate of enteric bacteria, Prevotella (P = 0.025) and Clostridium cluster IV (P = 0.045) were significantly increased in the MDF group compared with those in the placebo group at 2 weeks after the start of the test-food consumption. As for organic acids in feces, n-butyric acid was significantly higher in the MDF group than in the placebo group at 2 weeks after the start of the test-food consumption (P = 0.037). Furthermore, no safety concerns were noted.Conclusions: The consumption of MDF-containing food for 2 weeks resulted in the increase of stool frequency, stool volume, useful enteric bacteria, and organic acids in feces in healthy Japanese adult subjects.Clinical trial registration number: UMIN-CTR: UMIN000035613.Keywords: Mulukhiya, enterobacterial flora, dietary fiber, stool frequency, organic acid levels

Blackberry fruit processing generates residues comprised of peel, seeds, and pulp that are abundant in flavonoids, colorants, and organic acids. The objective of this study was to determine the organic acids, antioxidants, and dietary fiber content of blackberry residues and compare antioxidants and dietary fiber content of a prune-based commercial product. The ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP methodologies were used for antioxidant capacity. The blackberry residues exhibited a high amount of malic acid (5706.37 mg/100 g db), phenols (4016.43 mg GAE/100 g db), and anthocyanins content (364.53 mg/100 g db) compared with the commercial product. These compounds contributed to the antioxidant capacity (by ABTS) of both products but were 20 times higher in blackberry residues. The fruit residues were able to reduce iron (by FRAP) 4.4 times compared to the prune-based product. Total dietary fiber (44.26%) and functional properties as water retention capacity (2.94 g/g), swelling capacity (5.00 mL/g), and fat absorption capacity (1.98 mL/g) of blackberry residues were significantly higher than those of the commercial sample. The results demonstrated that, due to its antioxidant compounds and functional properties, the blackberry residue can be considered a source of components with potential benefit to human health.

Wild Edible Fruits

Wild edible fruits have been used centuries by local people mainly for nutrition purposes and they have attracted the attention of researchers in the last decade throughout the world. Among wild edible fruits, the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) is widely distributed mainly in Mediterranean countries. However, the lack of information about strawberry tree genetic resources in Mediterranean countries is a major cause of its low exploitation by breeders. For a practical use and exploitation of the strawberry tree native germplasm, phenological, morphological, and biochemical characterization of the plant is essential. In this study, some important phenological, morphological, and biochemical characteristics of sixteen local strawberry tree genotypes were determined. Significant variations (p < 0.05) were observed in most of the investigated phenological, morphological, and biochemical traits of the genotypes. The genotypes were harvested between 2–21 November. The fruit weight and the number of fruits per cluster of the genotypes varied from 3.89 to 6.86 g and 3.61 to 7.94, respectively. Vitamin C and total dietary fiber contents of genotypes were found quite variable, ranging from 58 to 93 mg/100 g and 7.04 to 12.36 g/100 g, respectively. The fruits of the strawberry tree include mainly fructose and glucose rather than sucrose. Local strawberry tree genotypes are found to be promising for further valorization through horticultural characteristics for breeding. Some genotypes had significantly higher fruit weight, vitamin C concentrations, total dietary fiber, and total phenolic concentration and may be good selections for producing health products.

Purpose. Determine the formation of physico-chemical quality indicators (berry weight, protein, carbohydrates, fat, dietary fiber, organic acids) of fresh, dried and frozen sea buckthorn fruits of different varieties. Methods. Laboratory, mathematical and statistical, physicochemical. Results. The water content in sea buckthorn berries was the highest, but also varied significantly depending on the variety. The varieties of sea buckthorn ‘Haleryt’ and ‘Yelyzaveta’ had the highest content – 90%, by 2 and 3% less in the varieties ‘Burshtynove namysto’ and ‘Altaiska’, in the varieties ‘Sonechko’ and ‘Uliublena’ – 85%. The lowest water content was in the berries of ‘Ryzhyk’, ‘Podruha’, ‘Diuimovochka’, ‘Chechek’ varieties – 75–78%. Dried fruits contained water from 22 to 16%. In the varieties ‘Uliublena’, ‘Yelyzaveta’, ‘Altaiska’ – 22%, ‘Haleryt’, ‘Diuimovochka’, ‘Sonechko’, ‘Burshtynove Namysto’ – 20%, ‘Avhustyna’, ‘Ryzhyk’, ‘Podruha’ – 18%, ‘Veleten’ and ‘Chechek’ – 17 and 16%, respectively. The content of dietary fiber was 4.5–6.2% depending on the variety. The lowest content of dietary fiber was found in the varieties ‘Uliublena’ and ‘Altaiska’ – 4.5–4.7% in fresh and 2.4–2.5% in dried berries. The highest rates were in the varieties ‘Avhustyna’, ‘Sonechko’, ‘Burshtynove Namysto’ in fresh varieties – 6.0, 6.2 and 5.9%, and in dried varieties – 5.5%. The ‘Chechek’ and ‘Veleten’ varieties contained 5.7% in fresh berries and 5.0 and 4.5% in dried berries. The content of fat in fresh berries was in the range of 5.0–5.7%, depending on the variety. In dried berries it increased to 6.0–6.7% or 18–20% depending on the variety of sea buckthorn. In fast-freezing berries, this figure decreased to 4.5–5.2% or 9–10%. The content of organic acids in fresh fruits was the highest – 1.5–2.0%, depending on the sea buckthorn variety. Their content in dried berries decreased to 1.3–1.7% except for the varieties ‘Avhustyna’, ‘Sonechko’ and ‘Burshtynove namysto’, and in the frozen ones to 0.3–0.9%. It should be noted that a similar trend is observed in frozen berries of ‘Avhustyna’, ‘Sonechko’ and ‘Burshtynove namysto’ varieties. Conclusions. It is established that physicochemical quality indicators of fresh, dried and frozen sea buckthorn berries vary depending on the variety. The varieties ‘Avhustyna’, ‘Sonechko’, ‘Burshtynove Namysto’ have the largest weight of one berry 1.4–1.5 g. 8–6.0%), fat (5.5–5.7%), protein (1.5%), organic acids (2.0%) and dietary fiber (5.9–6.2%) in fresh berries.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the nutritional composition, antioxidant properties, and functional characteristics of two cultivars of xoconostle Opuntia xoconostle F.A.C. Weber in Diguet cv. Cuaresmeño (XC) and Opuntia matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa (XR). The samples were frozen (−32 °C, 48 h), lyophilized (96 h, −55 ± 1 °C, vacuum of 0.040 Mbar), and homogenized (size particle 500 μm) to get the xoconostle powder. Both cultivars (XC and XR) had a high content of carbohydrates characterized by soluble sugars (9.8 ± 0.7 and 29.9 ± 0.5 g/100 g dm) and dietary fiber (30.8 ± 0.7 and 36.8 ± 0.9 g/100 g dm), as well as lower proportions of organic acids, mainly citric acid (18.8 ± 0.0 and 13.6 ± 0.0 mg/100 g dm). These samples also had a high content of phenolic compounds (1580.3 ± 33.1 and 1068.5 ± 70.8 mg GAE/100 g dm), vitamin C (723.1 ± 16 and 320.2 ± 7.5 mg/100 g dm), and antioxidant activity ABTS·+ and DPPH· (between 1348.1 ± 74.0 and 3318.7 ± 178.8 µmol TE/100 g dm). Since xoconostle samples had a high content of dietary fiber, they were characterized by the capacity of water retention (water holding capacity 6.00 ± 0.1 and 5.5 ± 0.2 g H2O/g dm) and gel formation (swelling 5.2 ± 0.0 and 5.5 ± 0.0 g H2O/g dm), related with the retention of lipids and glucose in the food matrix similar to other foods. XR was characterized by a higher amount of dietary fiber, sugars and organic acids, while XC had higher phenols content and antioxidant properties, with higher values of functional properties. Then, our data suggest that both xoconostle cultivars in powder can be used as a functional ingredient for its fiber content and antioxidant properties, contributing with sensorial aspects as flavor and color. Therefore, these highly valued products can be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
