Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rosaceae fruits have been used in traditional medicine for the prevention and treatment of diseases. 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.
