The identification and quantification of the JP anthocyanins was carried out by HPLC-PDA and LC–MS/MS, which revealed the presence of two compounds: delphinidin Keywords: − 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside (634.75 and 1963.57 mg 100 g 1 d. w., respectively).

The polar JP extract demonstrated antiproliferative effects Antiproliferative cell lines against leukemia (K-562), and the non-polar extract was the most active against prostate cancer cell (PC-3), Mutations according to the antiproliferative assay. The micronucleus test in mice demonstrated that the polar JP extract induced no DNA damage and hence it showed no cytotoxic properties on mice bone marrow cells and caused no mutagenic effects.

Besides the essential nutrients, most fruits contain considerable quantities of micronutrients, such as minerals, fibers, vitamins and There is increasing interest in the antioxidant activity of the phenolic compounds. Several studies have shown the importance of phytochemicals present in the diet, since they play a very important these micronutrients to human health (Rufino et al., 2010). role in the organism's defense system against reactive oxygen species Anthocyanins belong to a class of phenolic compounds, which (ROS), which are mainly generated during the regular energy have attracted increasing attention because of their antioxidant activ- metabolism of aerobic cells (Ou, Huang, Hampsch-Woodill, Flanagan, ity.
