Exploring the Composition of Blueberry-Based Functional Products: Polyphenolic and Elemental Characterization and Quantification.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the nutritional and toxicological aspects of different forms of blueberry products (fresh blueberries, dried blueberries, supplements and herbal teas). Methods: Twelve aglycone and glycoside polyphenolic compounds, such as stilbenoids (resveratrol, astringin), flavonols (quercetin, rutin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, kaempferol), flavanols (catechin, epicatechin), flavanone (hesperitin), flavone (luteolin), and forty chemical elements were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Total phenolic and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity were also evaluated. Results: Different distributions of polyph
