Abstract

Bobičasto voće bogat je izvor bioaktivnih sastavnica među kojima se najviše ističu antocijani,
flavonoidi i fenolne kiseline za koje je poznato da posjeduju izražena antioksidativna svojstva. S
obzirom da se aronija, brusnica i borovnica danas ubrajaju među najpopularnije bobičaste plodove,
cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti fitokemijski sastav i vrednovati antioksidativnu aktivnost
različitih komercijalno dostupnih suhih ekstrakata i onih pripremljenih od svježih plodova
hrvatskog porijekla. Dobiveni rezultati doprinose spoznajama o bioaktivnim sastavnicama
različitih ekstrakata bobičastih plodova i njihovom biomedicinskom potencijalu.

Abstract (english)

Berry fruits are a rich source of bioactive components, among which the most prominent are
anthocyanins, flavonoids and phenolic acids, which are known to have pronounced antioxidant
properties. Considering that chokeberry, cranberry and blueberry are some of the most popular
berries today, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the phytochemical composition and evaluate
the antioxidant activity of various commercially available dry extracts and those prepared from
fresh fruits grown in Croatia. The obtained results contribute to current knowledge about the
bioactive components of various berry fruit extracts and their biomedical potential.
