Berry fruits as a source of biologically active compounds: The case of Lonicera caerulea

Original language description

Background: Lonicera caerulea L. (blueberry honeysuckle, Caprifoliaceae) is a traditional crop in northern Russia, China, and Japan. Its fruits are little known as edible berries in North America and Europe. This review deals with the botany and chemicalcomposition of L. caerulea and the biological activity of its main constituents, focusing on the potential health benefi ts of the berries. Methods and Results: PubMed, Science Direct and ISI Web of KnowledgeSM databases were used for this paper. Literature sources include the period 1935?2007. L. caerulea berries are rich source of phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids as well as anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and other flavonoids, which display potential health promoting effects. Chemopreventive, antimicrobial, anti-adherence and antioxidant benefits, among others, are described for these compounds. Conclusions: The potential of L. caerulea berries to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases an

Plody bobulovitého ovoce jako zdroj biologicky aktivních látek: Případ Lonicera caerulea

Czech description

Lonicera caerulea L. (zimolez modrý, Caprifoliaceae) je tradiční plodinou v severním Rusku, v Číně a Japonsku. Jeho plody jsou však v Severní Americe a v Evropě málo známé jako jedlé bobule. Tento souborný článek se zabývá botanických popisem a chemickýmsložením L. caerulea a biologickou aktivitou hlavních obsahových látek se zaměřením na možné příznivé účinky bobulí na lidské zdraví. Literární zdroje byly získány databází PubMed, Science Direct a ISI Web of Knowledge pocházely z let 1935-2007.
