Abstract
We have been investigating different functional properties of
rowanberry. The antioxidant activity was investigated using DPPH radical
scavenging test and in liposome and emulsion oxidation models. The
antimicrobial activity was tested against Escherichia coli, Salmonella
enterica sv. typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus
strains. Also the inhibition of fimbriae-mediated adhesion of E. coli to human
erythrocytes was examined. Rowanberry and rowanberry phenolics exhibited
strong antioxidative, antimicrobial, and antiadhesion activity.
