Studies on the mineral content of different rosehip species/cultivars during ripening period are very limited. Therefore, objective this research was to evaluate and composition elements two species cultivars growing an organic farm. The fruits were harvested at stages, five time per season. Mineral (K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Na, Ti, Cu, B, Mn, Al, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni, As, Mo, Cd Pb) analyzed by means induc...

background: sporadic alzheimer’s disease (sad) is caused by genetic risk factors, aging and oxidative stresses. the herbal extract of rosa canina (r. canina), tanacetum vulgare (t. vulgare) and urtica dioica (u. dioica) has a beneficial role in aging, as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agent. in this study, the neuroprotective effects of this herbal extract in the rat model of sad was i...

Rosehip (Rosa canina L.) seeds are rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients hence with a great potential to be employed production of functional foods. This work aimed evaluate the fatty acid composition seed oil from wild cultivated rosehip collected at different locations Republic Serbia. Unsaturated acids were dominant majority samples, linoleic (LA), ?-linolenic (ALA) oleic (OA) (24.53–46....

Recent studies have shown that Rosa canina L. and tiliroside, the principal constituent of its seeds, exhibit anti-obesity and anti-diabetic activities via enhancement of fatty acid oxidation in the liver and skeletal muscle. However, the effects of rosehip, the fruit of this plant, extract (RHE), or tiliroside on lipid accumulation in adipocytes have not been analyzed. We investigated the effe...

The studied material were the fruits of 7 wild species: dog rose (Rosa canina L.), blackberry (Rubus caesius L.), elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.), blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.) and wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.). The fruits were subjected to an antioxidant activity assay (AA). Two methods were used: FRAP and ABTS. The fruit s...

Open markets are an integral part of urban areas that provide a means for intense sharing of knowledge and practices about plants among people from different social groups and different cultural and geographical origins.
