Abstract

Berberis lycium Royle. ex DC. (Family Berberidaceae) an important wild growing shrub of Western Himalaya. Berries of the species consumed by local people of the Himalaya, however, had limited information on their nutritional characteristics. In the present investigation, polyphenolic antioxidants of berries were assessed in different solvents. Results revealed that fresh berries were better for bioactive constituents (e.g., phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, flavonols and proanthocynidins) and antioxidant activities as compared to dried berries. However, a significant (p < 0.05) impact of solvent extraction system on polyphenolics and antioxidant activity was observed. Better results were obtained in solvents with medium polarity (acetone, methanol and ethanol). Results indicated that both fresh and dried berries are good sources of various health benefit compounds and should be further utilized for preparation of nutritious food stuffs that can contribute towards reducing the malnutrition in the region.

枸杞子的抗氧化特性和多酚类物质:一种未开发的喜马拉雅野生可食用水果

小檗lycium Royle。前女友。(小檗科)喜玛拉雅西部一种重要的野生灌木。然而，喜马拉雅当地人食用的这种浆果的营养特征信息有限。在本研究中，研究了不同溶剂对浆果多酚类抗氧化剂的影响。结果表明，与干浆果相比，新鲜浆果具有更好的生物活性成分(如酚类物质、单宁、类黄酮、类黄酮醇和原花青素)和抗氧化活性。然而，溶剂萃取体系对多酚类物质和抗氧化活性有显著(p < 0.05)的影响。在中极性溶剂(丙酮、甲醇和乙醇)中，效果较好。结果表明，新鲜和干燥的浆果都是各种有益健康化合物的良好来源，应进一步用于制备营养食品，有助于减少该地区的营养不良。
