Plant cell cultures of Nordic berry species: Phenolic and carotenoid profiling and biological assessments

Plant cell cultures from cloudberry (CL), lingonberry (LI), stone berry (ST), arctic bramble (AB), and strawberry (SB) were studied in terms of their polyphenol carotenoid composition, antioxidant activity, antihemolytic activity cytotoxicity effects on cancerous cells. High-resolution mass spectrometry data showed that LI, presented the highest contained contents flavones, phenolic acids, lignans, total carotenoids, while CL, ST SB opposite behavior. AB lowest FRAP CUPRAC values, CL reducing power. measured by single electron transfer assays content flavones. LI decreased viability vitro mammary gland adenocarcinoma only lung carcinoma protective human erythrocytes against mechanical hemolysis.
