Products Introduction:
Aronia
melanocarpa (black chokeberry) is one of the shrubs that invades mesic
sand prairies, sometimes forming its own 'shrub prairie. '. Black
Chokeberry
Has attracted scientific interest due to its
deep purple, almost black pigmentation that arises from dense contents
of phenolic phytochemicals, especially anthocyanins.
There is
growing appreciation for consumers to increase their intake of
antioxidant-rich plant foods from colorful sources like berries, tree or
citrus fruits, vegetables, grains, and spices. Accordingly, a deep blue
food source such as chokeberry yields anthocyanins in high
concentrations per serving, indicating potential value as a functional
food or nutraceutical.
Analysis of anthocyanins in chokeberries
has identified the following individual chemicals (among hundreds known
to exist in the plant kingdom): Cyanidin-3-galactoside, epicatechin,
caffeic acid, quercetin, delphinidin, petunidin, pelargonidin, peonidin
and malvidin. All these are members of the flavonoid category of
antioxidant phenolics.
Chokeberries' rich antioxidant content
may be beneficial as a dietary preventative for reducing the risk of
diseases caused by oxidative stress. Among the models under evaluation
where preliminary results show benefits of chokeberry anthocyanins are
colorectal cancer (Lala et al. 2006), cardiovascular disease (Bell &
Gochenaur 2006), chronic inflammation (Han et al. 2005), gastric
mucosal disorders (peptic ulcer) (Valcheva-Kuzmanova et al. 2005), eye
inflammation (uveitis) (Ohgami et al. 2005) and liver failure
(Valcheva-Kuzmanova et al. 2004).
