Physicochemical characterization of ten blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) cultivars, their bioactivity related to type 2 diabetes and inflammation, and chemical changes after lactic acid fermentation
Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) are small, astringent berries that are not well known in the United States due to being banned for almost a century from the spread of a fungus that threatened the timber industry. However, new fungus resistant cultivars of blackcurrants have been created, and the high …

Berries in Prevention of Metabolic Disease – focus on obesity, diabetes and gut microbiota
… found that supplementation with lingonberries, blackcurrants and bilberries reduced body weight gain, insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation and hepatic lipid accumulation in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet. Supplementation with raspberries, crowberries, blackberries or prunes had no or …

Characterisation of phenolic antioxidants in fruits and vegetables : bioavailability of raspberry phenolics in humans and rats
… responsible for the antioxidant capacity in blackcurrants and blueberries were the anthocyanins. Blackcurrants contained large amounts of anthocyanins (5446 nmol/g) and vitamin C (2328 nmol/g) and had the highest AOC of the five berries. Blueberries were the second highest with anthocyanins …

Role and mechanism of action of the anthocyanin, delphinidin, in protecting endothelial cells against oxidative stress
… Scottish berries (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants) were rich in polyphenolic compounds that conferred substantial reducing capacity, which is often associated with antioxidant capacity. Tannins and anthocyanins were particularly prominent; the anthocyanin, delphinidin, was selected …

Characterization of blackcurrant berries (Ribes nigrum) and the evaluation of their bioactive compounds after ultrasound-assisted water extractions, enzymatic treatments, and fermentation
Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) (BC) have remained relatively unknown to the US market because they were prohibited from being grown in the US from the early 20th century until the 1980s. This was due to significant losses by the lumber industry, which discovered that some native and non-native …
