Okan, Onur Tolga; Ulusoy, Esra; Öz, Mehmet; Deniz, Ilhan
Aim of study: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity and polyphenol and flavonoid content of blueberry leaves, which could have positive effects on human health. Area of study: The research was conducted in three cities of Turkiye's Karadeniz region, where blueberry cultivation is prevalent: Giresun, Trabzon, and Rize. Material and method: In this study, 29 blueberry leaves (27 cultivated and two wild) were selected as sample materials. The total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu method), total flavonoid content (aluminum (III) chloride method), and total antioxidant capacity (DPPH and FRAP) of the samples were analyzed. Phenolic characterization was performed using HPLC. Main results: The total phenolic content varied between 8.36 and 121.61 mg GAE/g, whereas the total flavonoid content ranged from 0.91 to 3.07 mg QE/g. The results revealed that blueberry leaves had high antioxidant activity and contained considerable amounts of polyphenols and flavonoids. Chlorogenic acid was identified as the dominant compound in all leaves samples. Research highlights: These findings indicate that blueberry leaves could be a valuable source of antioxidants in the food and cosmetic industries, comparable to the fruit itself.

Today, the use of essential oils is increasing day by day, and it is considered as raw materials in many industries. Therefore, this study aims to identify the essential oil profile, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Rosa canina L. and Rosa pimpinellifolia L. reveal their potential use in the industry. Essential oils that were obtained in 2013-2014 from different parts (flower, leaf, stem, and fruit) of Rosa canina L. and Rosa pimpinellifolia L. by the hydro-distillation method were analyzed by GC/MS. The dominant components in Rosa canina L. were found as trans-geraniol in the flowers (42.08 % for 2013), linalool in the leaves (11.55 % for 2014), and stem (14.91 % for 2013) and vitispirane in the fruits (37.19 % for 2014). The dominant components in R. pimpinellifolia L. were found as heneicosane in the flowers (22.07 % for 2014), γ-elemene in the leaves (30.21 % for 2013), linalool in the stem (14.76 % for 2013) and the fruits, (E)-2-hexenal for those collected in 2013 (14.09 %). The IC50 and FRAP values of the samples ranged from 127.54 to 142.22 μg/g and 121.43 to 296.78 μmol TE/g, respectively. According to the results obtained, both R. canina L. and R. pimpinellifolia L. were found to show poor antioxidant values of DPPH and FRAP. In general, it was determined that the essential oils obtained from different plant parts of both species had a moderate antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Commercial blueberry production has been a viable industry throughout the world for 95 years; because of blueberry is a good source of antioxidant. Blueberries are especially rich in anthocyanin, a flavonoid with potent antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to compare the phenolic quantities, antioxidant activities, anthocyanin, sugar and phenolic compounds of blueberries produced in Turkey with those of similar blueberry varieties produced around the world. As a result of the conducted analysis, the total phenolic content (TPC) amount found in the berries was 77.26-215.12 mg GAE/100 g, the total flavonoid content (TFC) was 30.44-91.69 mg QE/100 g and the total anthocyanin content (TAC) was 43.03-295.06 mg c3- GE/100 g. Examining the antioxidant activities of the berries, DPPH between 1.10-5.65 mg/ml, FRAP between 454.93- 36832.96 μmol troloks/100 g, β-Carotene between 40.66-86.48%. It was determined that the natural berries contained much more phenolic compounds and higher antioxidant activity than that of the cultivars The result of HPLC analysis, chlorogenic acid is determined to be the dominant compound in all berries. Furthermore, fructose and glucose are found in all fruits in different quantities while sucrose is found in certain varieties of berries as well. At the end of the performed study the data indicate that wild and cultivars of blueberries are rich sources of antioxidants for local as well international industries importing this fruit for food processing and enormous products.

Okan, Onur Tolga; Varlibas, Hulya; Öz, Mehmet; Deniz, Ilhan
Eastern Black Sea region has wide genetically plant diversity due to physical and different climatic characteristic. These plants, which are potential source of antioxidants, prevent the oxidative stres caused by oxygen and photons at the same time. Interest of antioxidant compound has been increased for last years. The reason of this, it is believed that an increased intake of food, which is rich in natural antioxidant, is associated with a lower risk of degenerative diseases. In this study, 10 plants, which are sources of antioxidant and marketable in Eastern Black Sea region, were chosen. Antioxidant activity and potentials use area of these plants were examined. Moreover, antioxidant compounds and determination of antioxidant activity methods were discussed.
