Blueberries, cranberries, and huckl

Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries and related plants have now been found to contain resveratrol, a potential anti-cancer agent, according to Agrocultural Research Service (ARS) scientists who made the discovery. This new finding from ARS adds to previous research by other scientists who found that dark-skinned bunch grapes contain resveratrol.

- Using chemical identification procedures, the team of scientists measured the resveratrol content of 30 whole fruit  samples of blueberry, cranberry, and huckleberry and related plants. The samples represented five families and 10 species. of Vaccinium fruit. They also measured resveratrol in skin, juice/pulp and seed samples of muscadine grape. Because of its important biological properties, resveratrol has been examined extensively in grapes. Studies showed the compound protects the grapes from fungal diseases. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted its examination in other fruits.

The team’s studies showed that several fruits samples of Vaccinium contain varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of the extracts of the skin, juice/pulp and seed muscadine grapes showed that concentration of resveratrol more Vaccinium and muscadine samples is continuing. The new data could help build a foundation for increasing resveratrol in those berry and grape crops that are important to many small farmers. Future research goals will include enhancing production of resveratrol in selected species.

Blueberry, cranberry, dan huckleberries dan tanaman terkait kini telah ditemukan mengandung resveratrol, zat anti-kanker yang potensial, menurut Agrocultural Research Service (ARS) ilmuwan yang membuat penemuan. Temuan ini baru dari ARS menambah penelitian sebelumnya oleh ilmuwan lain yang menemukan bahwa berkulit gelap anggur sekelompok mengandung resveratrol. - Menggunakan prosedur identifikasi kimia, tim ilmuwan mengukur kandungan resveratrol dari 30 sampel buah utuh dari blueberry, cranberry, dan huckleberry dan tanaman terkait. Sampel mewakili lima keluarga dan 10 spesies. buah Vaccinium. Mereka juga mengukur resveratrol pada kulit, jus / pulp dan biji sampel muscadine anggur. Karena sifat biologis yang penting, resveratrol telah diperiksa secara ekstensif dalam anggur. Studi menunjukkan senyawa melindungi buah anggur dari penyakit jamur. Potensi antikanker senyawa ini dijamin pemeriksaan di buah-buahan lainnya. Studi tim menunjukkan bahwa beberapa buah sampel Vaccinium mengandung jumlah yang bervariasi dari senyawa. Analisis ekstrak dari kulit, jus / pulp dan biji anggur muscadine menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi resveratrol lebih Vaccinium dan sampel muscadine terus. Data baru bisa membantu membangun landasan untuk meningkatkan resveratrol pada mereka berry dan anggur tanaman yang penting bagi banyak petani kecil. Tujuan penelitian masa depan akan meliputi peningkatan produksi resveratrol dalam spesies yang dipilih.
