Towards an Understanding of Genetic Control of Processing Quality Traits in Blackcurrant (<i>Ribes nigrum</i> L.)
Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) is a perennial shrub grown for its black piquant berries, rich in a variety of nutrients, phytochemicals and antioxidants. Blackcurrants are commercially grown in 21 countries mainly across temperate zones of Europe, Russia, and New Zealand and to a lesser extent …

Investigating the effectiveness of New Zealand Blackcurrant extract to modulate postprandial glycaemia in overweight/obese individuals
… investigate whether anthocyanin-rich New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) extract could be an effective nutritional strategy to reduce postprandial glycaemia in overweight and obese individuals. Chapter 2 provides evidence that an acute bolus of NZBC extract is unable to mediate postprandial glucose or …

Characterization of antioxidant activities from fruits rich in delphinidin or malvidin anthocyanins
… capacity of two different soft fruits, blackcurrant and grape, which have distinctly different anthocyanin profiles. The anthocyanin profiles of grape and blackcurrant were characterized by HPLC/MS coupled with a diode array detector. Results showed that blackcurrant contained four …

The role of chemicals in the location of host plants by midge pests of UK fruit crops
… cane midge, Resseliella theobaldi (Barnes), the blackcurrant leaf midge, Dasineura tetensi (Rübsaamen), and the apple leaf midge, Dasineura mali (Kiefer). Field studies showed gravid raspberry cane midge females are attracted to split canes for oviposition. Chemicals were identified using solid …

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 …

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 …

The chemical diversity of midge pheromones
… Dasineura pyri, pear midge, Contarinia pyrivora, blackcurrant midge, D. tetensi and blackberry midge, D. plicatrix. The major component of the pheromone of D. pyri was identified as (2R, 13fi, 8Z)-2,13-diacetoxy-8-heptadecene. Four isomers were separated by high performance liquid chromatography …
