Слайд 2Rubus idaeus
Rubus idaeus is a red-fruited species of Rubus native to Europe
and northern Asia and commonly cultivated in other temperate regions.
Слайд 3As a wild plant, R. idaeus typically grows in forests, forming open
stands under a tree canopy, and denser stands in clearings. In the south of its range, it only occurs at high altitudes in mountains.
Слайд 4The species name idaeus refers to its occurrence on Mount Ida near
Troy in northwest Turkey, where the ancient Greeks were most familiar with it.
Слайд 5Cultivation and uses
R. idaeus is grown primarily for its fruits, but occasionally
for its leaves, roots, or other parts.
Слайд 6Fruits
The fruit of R. idaeus is an important food crop, though most
modern commercial raspberry cultivars derive from hybrids
Between
R. idaeus and
R. strigosus.
The fruits of wild
plants have a
sweet taste and
are very aromatic.
Слайд 7Leaves and other parts
Red raspberry leaf have antioxidant effects that play a
minor role in the killing of stomach and colon cancer cells.
Слайд 8Young roots of Rubus idaeus prevented kidney stone formation in a mouse
model of hyperoxaluria. Tiliroside from raspberry is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor and might be used as a skin-whitening agent and pigmentation medicine.
Слайд 9Chemistry
Vitamin C and phenolics are present in red raspberries.
Слайд 10Polyphenolic compounds from raspberry seeds have antioxidant effects in vitro, but have
no proven antioxidant effect in humans.
