Received: 27 June 2020; Accepted: 14 July 2020; Published: 16 July 2020 Abstract: Non-communicable diseases pose a serious threat to Western countries, in particular to European populations. In this context, healthy diets, such as the Mediterranean diet and the New Nordic diet developed in 2004, in addition to other healthy lifestyle choices (i.e., regular and low to moderate intensity levels of physical activity) can contribute to reduce the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (majorly preventable, diet-related, non-communicable diseases), including being overweight, obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia. The Mediterranean diet and the Nordic diet share common traits: they are rich in nutrient-dense foods (mostly plant-derived foods) and low in energy-dense foods (mainly of animal origin). However, more studies are needed to ascertain the long-term effects of adherence to both dietary styles with regards to disease prevalence and incidence, especially for the New Nordic Diet. Keywords: Mediterranean diet; Nordic diet; overweight; obesity; cardiovascular disease; functional foods; nutraceuticals; bioactive phytochemicals In the few last decades, the benefits of dietary styles rich in nutrient-dense foods have been emphasized in terms of longevity, healthy ageing and morbidity. Indeed, diets including plenty of plant foods have been associated with a reduced risk and incidence of chronic degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disorders and some cancers. In general, healthy dietary habits include a low consumption of refined sugars, salt, saturated and trans fats, as well as high intake of fruit, vegetables (including legumes, whole grain cereals and nuts), low-fat dairy products and healthy lipids (from plant oils and seafood). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancers, respiratory diseases and diabetes, are responsible for almost 70% of all deaths worldwide. The rapid rise of non-communicable diseases has been driven by a number of (modifiable) behavioral risk factors, such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, exposure to tobacco smoke and the harmful use of alcoholic beverages, in addition to environmental (air pollutants), occupational (carcinogens, particulates, gases, fumes) and metabolic (overweight/obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia) risk factors [1]. Of the six WHO regions, the WHO European Region is the most severely affected by non-communicable diseases (Table 1). Therefore, The European Food and Nutrition Action Plan 2015–2020 aimed at significantly reducing the burden of preventable diet-related non-communicable diseases, obesity and all other forms of malnutrition prevalent in the region, with emphasis on the decrease in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes, as well as overweight children under five years old [1].

Consumption of fresh fruit is often replaced by the intake of fruit juices, due to their easily, conveniently and readily consumable nature which is the need of today’s fast and busy life. It is the unfermented but fermentable liquid obtained from the edible part of sound, appropriately mature and fresh fruit. Fruit juices contain nutrients like vitamins, minerals, trace elements, energy and phytochemicals including flavonoids, polyphenols and antioxidants that have been shown to have varied health benefits.

In Colombia, mango’s market is very broad and diverse. However, there are very few studies that determined the content of bioactive secondary metabolites. The objective of this study was to evaluated the content of different metabolites like Mangiferin, carotenoids, tannins, and the antioxidant capacity by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) methodology of six cultivars from the Colombian Caribbean region, with total carotenoid values ranging from 24.67 to 196.15 mg of β-carotene/100 g dry pulp; 84.30 to 161.49 mg Catequine eq./100 g dry pulp for the content of condensed tannins, and 91.80 to 259.23 mg/100 g dry pulp for mangiferin content.

The monomers propelargonidin, prodelphinidin and procyanidin were analyzed, as well as extractable condensed tannin (ECT), protein-bound CT (PBCT) and fiber-bound CT (FBCT), molecular weight, degree of polymerization, polydispersity index, and biological activity by protein precipitate by phenols (PPP) of leaves of the legumes Cajanus cajan, Gliricidia sepium, Stylosanthes capitata x Stylosanthes macrocephala (stylo), Flemingia macrophylla, Cratylia argentea, and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, and of the bark of this latter species. Differences were observed in the concentrations of ECT, PBCT, PPP, and total condensed tannin among species, but not in that of FBCT.

Abstract Anthocyanins are naturally occurring compounds, member of the flavonoid groups of photochemical, involved in defense against the damaging effects of UV irradiation in plants and protect from many oxidants. The anthocyanins, group of pigments are relatively small and diverse flavonoid family in nature, and responsible for the attractive colors, red and purple to blue in many plants. Presence of pigments in flowers and fruits seems to provide attraction for pollination and aiding seed distribution, it also provides antiviral and antimicrobial activities, however their occurrence in the vacuoles remains ambiguous.
