The fruit of Aristotelia Chilensis, commonly known as maqui, has been demonstrated to exhibit significantly high antioxidant capacity in vitro, especially for singlet oxygen and peroxyl scavenging, and, therefore, may have possible health benefits. In this study, the antioxidant capacities of freezedried maqui fruit pulp/skin powder (Patagonia Maqui) were evaluated by different assays with various free radical [...]
The fruit of Aristotelia Chilensis, commonly known as maqui, has been demonstrated to exhibit significantly high antioxidant capacity in vitro, especially for superoxide and peroxyl scavenging, and, therefore, may have possible health benefits. Superoxide is biologically quite toxic and is deployed by the immune system to kill invading microorganisms. In this study, the antioxidant capacities [...]
The fruit of Aristotelia Chilensis, commonly known as maqui berry or Chilean Wineberry, has been demonstrated to exhibit significant high antioxidant capacity in vitro against peroxynitrite aka NORAC. In this study, the antioxidant capacities of freeze dried whole maqui berry were evaluated by Brunswick Labs using their patented new Total ORAC assay. Total ORAC not [...]
