RESUMEN
While cranberries (fruit of Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) and fruits in general provide many nutritional and health promoting qualities, due to their unique proanthocyanidin (PAC) composition, cranberries al so provide an additional benefit in the form of bacterial anti-adhesion activity. This activity is being seen to have an important impact on urinary tract health, and may impact other health states where bacterial adhesion is part of the disease mechanism. Continued research on the nutritional and healthful components of cranberries will be challenging. Analytically, lack of standards makes it difficult to quantify some of these components for determining how they vary and how they may be affected by processing. Improved methods are also needed to analyze the complex fractions derived from bioassay directed fractionation. Biologically, there is a need to better understand how these components are absorbed and metabolized for determining the mechanisms involved and so markers can be identified that allow for improved monitoring of clinical study compliance
ABSTRACT
Las frutas en general tienen un valor nutricional y un efecto potenciador de la salud. El arándano americano (fruto de Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.), debido a su composición en proantocianidinas (PAC), proporciona un beneficio adicional gracias a su actividad inhibidora de la adherencia bacteriana, por lo que puede tener un efecto beneficioso en determinadas afecciones bacterianas. Desde el punto de vista analítico, la falta de sustancias de referencia dificulta la cuantificación de algunos de los componentes del arándano americano para determinar su variabilidad y cómo se pueden ver afectados por el procesamiento. Asimismo, se necesitan métodos mejorados para analizar las complejas fracciones derivadas del fraccionamiento biodirigido. Desde el punto de vista biológico, existe la necesidad de comprender mejor la forma en que estos componentes se absorben y se metabolizan para determinar los mecanismos implicados y poder identificar los marcadores que permitan una mejor supervisión del seguimiento de los estudios clínicos
