Aronia Extract Vegetable Fruit Powder With Anthocyanins Polyphenols Flavonoids

Aronia/ Black Chokeberry Extract
Latin Name Aronia melanocarpa
Part of the Plant Used Fruit

Product Introduction

Aronia melanocarpa (black chokeberry) has attracted scientific interest due to its deep purple, almost black pigmentation that arises from dense contents of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins. Total polyphenol content is 1752 mg per 100 g in fresh berries, anthocyanin content is 1480 mg per 100 g, and proanthocyanidin concentration is 664 mg per 100 g. These values are among the highest measured in plants to date. The black aronia species contains higher levels of anthocyanins than purple (Aronia prunifolia) or red aronia (Aronia arbutifolia), whereas red and purple aronia are richer in phenolic acid and proanthocyanins.

The plant produces these pigments mainly in the leaves and skin of the berries to protect the pulp and seeds from constant exposure to ultraviolet radiation and production of free radicals. By absorbing UV rays in the blue-purple spectrum, leaf and skin pigments filter intense sunlight, serve antioxidant functions and thereby have a role assuring regeneration of the species. Brightly colorful pigmentation also attracts birds and other animals to consume the fruit and disperse the seeds in their droppings.

Aronia extracts, powders and concentrates pack a powerful punch in dietary supplements and functional foods. Solid science backs numerous health benefits for aronia nutraceuticals, especially for cardiovascular, immune and gastric support.
