FRULIX BLUEBERRY (MIRTILO)

FRULIX BLUEBERRY is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics natural fruit ripening. Using the fruit's native enzymes, ASSESSA transforms the pulp into a crystalline liquid containing all active components in concentrations equivalent to those found in the natural fruit.

The Plant: Blueberry

Blueberry is nicknamed the "fountain of longevity" for being the fresh fruit richest in antioxidants ever studied. These polyphenolic components provide its characteristic dark blue color, offering powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that reduce oxidative stress.

Native to cool temperate forest regions of North America and Europe, blueberries grow in small shrubs that thrive in moderately humid soils. Renowned for its exotic flavor and high nutritional value, the blueberry is a small berry (5 to 9 mm) packed with bioactive compounds.

Functions & Active Profile

Blueberries feature an extraordinary concentration of polyphenols across both skin and pulp, with quercetin being one of the most prominent compounds. The phenolic content exceeds even dark green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli.

These compounds effectively scavenge and neutralize free radicals. In addition, its rich natural matrix contains essential vitamins, minerals, fruit sugars, pectin, tannins, and organic fruit acids (citric, malic, and tartaric acids).

Blueberry Fruit
"FRULIX BLUEBERRY is highly concentrated and produced without the addition of solvents. It should be used in smaller concentrations than those normally used when making formulas with conventional extracts."

Antioxidant Scavenging Capacity

To detect the antioxidant capacity against oxidative stress, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical scavenging assay was evaluated spectrophotometrically. The results confirm the potent radical-scavenging activity of FRULIX BLUEBERRY across concentrations.
