RESUMO
Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, flavonoids and ellagic acid derivatives and are consumed in Brazil in large quantities. The objectives of the present work were: characterization of different cultivars with respect to the content of bioactive compounds, optimization of the method for quantification of total ellagic acid content, purification and structural identification of ellagitannins, evaluation of their antiproliferative, anti-type 2 diabetes and anti-hypertension potentials, investigation of their in vivo bioavailability. The results indicated that there were significant differences in bioactive compounds among the strawberry cultivars. The best conditions for the determination of the total ellagic acid content in strawberries were extraction with 80% acetone, and hydrolysis using 2N TFA at 120 °C for 60 minutes. The precipitation method using ytterbium acetate was the most efficient in purifying the ellagitannins. After administration of purified ellagitannins to rats by gavage, no compound was detected in plasma or tissue samples analyzed.
