However, these fruits have not extensively been studied regarding their phenolic composition. Thus, this research focuses on the determination of phenolic compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, flavan-3-ols by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, and the antioxidant activity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), and ferric reducing antioxidant power of the fruits of five species of genera Crataegus and Sorbus (Rosaceae). RESULTS: We found a total of 71 phenolic compounds from which 30 were identified in these berries for the first time. Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus laciniata revealed higher total phenolic and flavan-3-ol contents than the other species and the highest antioxidant activities. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, the fruits evaluated have demonstrated to be important sources of bioactive compounds with huge potential for being used in nutraceutical or food scopes. Additional studies could be needed to evaluate the influence of the different production areas on the phenolic content.}, publisher = {Wiley}, keywords = {Crataegus}, keywords = {HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS}, keywords = {HPLC-FLD}, keywords = {Phenolic compounds}, keywords = {Procyanidins}, keywords = {Sorbus}, keywords = {Ultrasound-assisted extraction}, title = {Exploring the potential of phenolic and antioxidant compounds in new Rosaceae fruits}, doi = {10.1002/jsfa.13255}, author = {Razola Díaz, María del Carmen and Aznar Ramos, María José and Benítez Cruz, Guillermo and Gómez Caravaca, Ana María and Verardo, Vito}, }
