International Journal of Food Properties,2017,20(8). | Viburnum mullaha D.DON fruit (Indian Cranberry): A Potential Source of Polyphenol with rich antioxidant, anti-elastase, anti-collagenase and anti-tyrosinase activities[Reference: WebLink] | Viburnum mullaha (Buch.-Ham. Ex D. Don), is an underexplored wild edible fruit of Indian Himalayan region, analysed for total polyphenol contents, antioxidant, anti-elastase, anticollagenase, anti-tyrosinase activities using in-vitro assays.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
High values of total phenolic contents of 1257±40 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g fruit weight (FW) and total flavonoid contents of 3501±203 mg catechin equivalents/100 g FW were observed. V. mullaha fruit extracts showed outstanding antioxidant activities (ABTS+, DPPH, superoxide anion, linoleate Accepted Manuscript peroxyl radicals scavenging and ferric reducing activities) and remarkable anti-elastase, anticollagenase and anti-tyrosinase activities. High resolution liquid chromatography–mass spectroscopy (HR-LC-MS) analysis revealed presence of fifteen phenolic compounds namely chlorogenic acid, acetyl salicylic acid, dihydrorobinetin, dihydromyricetin, 2-isoprenylemodin, rutin, cosmosiin hexaacetate, pectolinarin, dihydroquercetin, eriodictyol, iriginol hexaacetate, theaflavin, Epicatechin pentaacetate, lomatin and peucenin in fruit extracts.
CONCLUSIONS:
This study recommends utilization of V. mullaha fruit as functional food with prospective pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals and cosmeceutical properties. |
