BACKGROUND Obesity has become a great problem all over the world. We repeatedly screened to find an effective food to treat obesity and discovered that rosehip extract shows potent anti-obesity effects. Investigations in mice have demonstrated that rosehip extract inhibits body weight gain and decreases visceral fat. Thus, the present study examined the effect of rosehip extract on human body f...

OBJECTIVE Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)--of a hip powder of Rosa canina (rosehip) preparation for symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), in order to estimate the empirical efficacy as a pain reducing compound. METHOD RCTs from systematic searches were included if they explicitly stated that OA patients were randomized to either rosehip or placebo. The primary out...

Rosehip is a good source of some biologically active compounds. The main importance of rosehip is its high composition of vitamin C and rutin (vitamin P) and high content of pectins, fatty acids, sugars, organic acids, phenolic components, lycopene, carotene with activity of vitamin A and group B vitamins, tannins, carotenoids, minerals (particularly K and P) macroand microelements (Tuer & Russ...

BACKGROUND Because of increasing antibiotic resistance, herbal teas are the most popular natural alternatives for the treatment of infectious diseases, and are currently gaining more importance. We examined the antimicrobial activities of 31 herbal teas both alone and in combination with antibiotics or antifungals against some standard and clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobac...

Temperature and pressure effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) on the extraction of carotenoids and seed oil from rosehip fruits have been studied. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has shown much potential skills for the isolation of organic compounds from various samples. SFE minimizes sample handling, provides fairly clean extracts, expedites sample preparation and reduces the u...

Aim: We compared original rosehip powder consisting of whole rosehips including seeds, with two different doses of a novel enhanced rosehip powder of rosehips without their seeds, for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: A total of 150 patients with symptomatic knee OA were randomly assigned to original powder (six capsules/day), enhanced powder (six capsules/day) or enhanced powder...

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the drying behavior and conditions of rosehip in a convective cyclone-type dryer. Drying experiments were conducted at air inlet temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 o C and air velocities of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 ms. The parametric values obtained from the experiments were fitted to the Newton mathematical models. Consequently, the drying model developed...

Background and objectives: The genus Rosa is one of the most widespread members of Rosaceae family with more than 100 species. Rosa fruit (rosehip) has a long history of traditional uses in Islamic traditional medicine. It has been used for the treatment of several illnesses including ear, nose and throat problems, nausea and vomiting, headache and brain spasm...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects different types powder additions on properties corn extrudates. following ingredients, which are good sources bioactive compounds, were used substitute flour: legume protein (2% pea, 5% broccoli, and lucerne), plants (15% beetroot 15% rosehip), condiments chili, 2% turmeric, paprika, basil). total polyphenolic content (TPC) antioxidant act...

Prevention of lipid oxidation needs special attention because a high proportion of fatty acids in broiler meat are unsaturated. A feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effect of dietary addition of rosemary, chokeberry pomace, rosehip, or nettle in comparison with vitamin E. Male Ross PM3 broilers caged in groups of 6 (4 replicated cages per treatment) were fed a balanced...
