The highest amount of alcohol (51.8%), ester (32.8%) and carboxylic acid (6.9%) was in blueberry in comparison with gooseberry and oppositely ketones (14.7%), aldehydes (9.9%) and terpenes (8%) were found in gooseberry. The bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacities were higher in blueberries than in gooseberries. Three dimensional fluorescence emission spectrometry (3D-FL) was applied to determine and to compare experimentally found binding parameters of berries extracts with human serum albumin (HSA). The fluorescence quenching of HSA by polyphenols from berries was a result of the formation of a polyphenol-HSA complex. The binding abilities of berries were highly correlated with the bioactivity of polyphenols and volatile substances. The cluste...

Fluorometry, FTIR spectra and radical scavenging assays were used for characterisation of bioactive compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids, flavanols and tannins) and the levels of their antioxidant activities (AAs). The contents of bioactive compounds and AAs in water and methanol polyphenol extracts in gooseberries, blueberries and cranberries differed, but not always significantly. Water extracts of gooseberries showed the lowest amounts of polyphenols (mg GAE g À1 ), 6.24 AE 0.6, and flavonoids (mg CE g À1 ), 0.29 AE 0.01, and AAs (lMTE g À1 ) determined by DPPH, FRAP, ABTS and CUPRAC assays such as 6.05 AE 0.6, 8.07 AE 0.9, 18.70 AE 1.8 and 13.44 AE 1.2, respectively, in comparison with blueberries and cranberries. Polyphenol content highly correlated with antioxidant activity (R 2 from 0.94 to 0.81). The quenching properties of berries were studied by the interaction of water and methanol polyphenol extracts with HSA by 3D fluorescence. In conclusion, the bioactivity of gooseberries was lower than in blueberries and cranberries. Gooseberries can be used as a new source for food consumption and supplementation based on their antioxidant and binding properties. 3D fluorescence spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy can be applied as additional analytical tools for rapid estimation of the quality of different food products.

Polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and ascorbic acid and the level of antioxidant activity of water extracts of "Murtilla-like" [Myrteola nummularia (Poiret) Berg.], and other widely consumed berries were determined and compared. The contents of bioactive compounds and the levels of antioxidant activities in water extracts differed significantly in the investigated samples (P < 0.05). "Murtilla-like" extracts contained polyphenols (mg GAE/g)-19.13 +/- 0.9, flavonoids, (mg CE/g)-3.12 +/- 0.1, anthocyanins (mg CGE/g)-120.23 +/- 5.4, and ascorbic acid (mg/g)-2.20 +/- 0.1; and antioxidant activities (mu molTE/g) by ABTS and CUPRAC assays were 200.55 +/- 8.7 and CUPRAC 116.76 +/- 5.7, respectively. Chemometrical processing was done on the basis of kinetic data of two variables (concentration and reaction time) by DPPH scavenging reaction. Polyphenol content highly correlated with antioxidant capacity (R-2 from 0.96 to 0.83). The quenching properties of berries were studied by the interaction of water polyphenol extracts with a small protein such as BSA by 3-D fluorescence and FTIR spectroscopy. These methods were used as additional tools for the characterization of polyphenols. Wild-grown non-investigated berries were compared with widely consumed ones, using their bioactive composition, antioxidant activities, and antiproliferative and fluorescence properties. In conclusion, the antioxidant properties of "Murtilla-like" can be used as a new source for consumption. The bioactivity of "Murtilla-like" is comparable with blueberries and raspberries. 3-D fluorescence and FTIR spectroscopy can be applied as additional analytical tools for rapid estimation of the quality of food products.

The quantitative analysis of bioactive compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids, flavanols, carotenoids, and chlorophyll) was based on radical scavenging spectrophometric assays and mass spectrometry. The total phenolic content was the highest (P<0.05) in water extract of blueberries (46.6±4.2 mg GAE/g DW). The highest antioxidant activities by 2,2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay and Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity were in water extracts of blueberries, showing 108.1±7.2 and 131.1±9.6 μMTE/g DW with correlation coefficients of 0.9918 and 0.9925, and by β-carotene linoleate assay at 80.1±6.6 % with correlation coefficient of 0.9909, respectively. The water extracts of berries exhibited high binding properties with human serum albumin in comparison with quercetin. In conclusion, the bioactive compounds from a relatively new source of gooseberries in comparison with blueberries and cranberries have the potential as food supplementation for human health. The antioxidant and binding activities of berries depend on their bioactive compounds.

It was found that polyphenols, flavonoids, and flavanols were significantly higher in prolipid (P&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.05), following by indigo mature leaves, immature leaves, and seeds. Methanol extract of mature indigo leaves in comparison with the ethyl acetate extract showed higher inhibition of proliferation. The interaction between polyphenol extracts of indigo mature leaves and BSA showed that indigo has a strong ability, as other widely used medicinal plants, to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by forming complexes. In conclusion, indigo mature leaves were compared with prolipid. High content of bioactive compounds, antioxidant, fluorescence, and antiproliferative properties of indigo justifies the use of this plant as a medicinal plant and a new source of antioxidants.
