Abstract

Nowadays
in the world (especially in developed countries), increasing very important for
human health, nutrition and protection from diseases has attracted consumer
demand to foods and raw materials of high nutritional value. Berries,
especially members of several families belonging to the best dietary sources of
biochemical compounds. They have delicious taste and flavor, economic
importance, and because of the antioxidant properties of some useful compounds,
therefore, they are of great interest to researchers, nutritionists, and food
technology experts. These compounds are responsible individually or in
combination. For the various health benefits of berries in order to prevent the
onset of chronic diseases and maintain health. In recent years, people's demand
for healthy products has increased, in this way, many wild fruit species began
to be cultivated in large areas. In particular, studies have focused on
strawberries, currants, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberry due to their
delicious taste and wide usage areas. These fruits contain high levels of
phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, carotenoids, alkaloids, vitamins and have
protective effects against health problems including degenerative diseases,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and cancer and are recommended for a
healthy diet. Such studies need to be developed extensively to detect and
preserve important mulberry germplasm and to better understand the importance
of such fruit species in the World. Berries, especially members of many
families such as Rosaceae and Ericaceae are great dietary sources of
biochemical compounds. these compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids-flavonols,
anthocyanins, tannins, and phenolic compounds such as ascorbic acid) are found in
large amounts in berries and can function as potent antioxidants and therefore
can help in the prevention and reduce of against many diseases including
inflammation disorders, cardiovascular diseases, various cancers species. In
summary, berries contain large amounts of phenolics and have also a high
antioxidant activity and people use intensively in the last time for both
healthy and their tastes.
