Bioactive Phenolic and Fatty Acid Composition of Canadian Wild Gooseberry and Blackcurrant

Wild berry varieties are widely distributed in Canada and mainly used by the indigenous population as food. Gooseberries blackcurrant two tart berries with strong taste that to make preserves such jams, jellies, wine. Phenolic compounds fatty acids predominant bioactive metabolites present these berries. Recently, researchers more interested exploring fruits for functional properties benefit human health. Although wild known their health benefits, research evidence related profiling of molecules Canadian gooseberry is limited. In this study we assessed compared phenolic acid composition using liquid gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The cyanidine glucoside, which a polyphenolic anthocyanin significantly higher (832 μg/g Dry wt.) (150 wt.). Linolenic (20.3 %) linoleic (18.2 were most abundant while (15.0 palmitic (11.2 gooseberry. Other oleic acid, linoleic, alpha linolenic important cardiovascular health, both
