Unlocking the Functional Value of European-Originated <i>Chrysanthemum</i> Hybrids: Phytochemical and Bioactivity Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Chrysanthemums are appreciated not only for their ornamental and medicinal attributes but also as edible plants long incorporated into teas, infusions, and culinary traditions. Yet, hybrid cultivars specifically adapted to European growing conditions remain poorly characterized with respect to their medicinal potential. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition, antioxidant properties, and enzyme-inhibitory activities of inflorescences of four field-grown Chrysanthemum × morifolium 'Donna' × C. rubellum 'Clara Curtis' hybrids of European origin (CD 7, DC 19, DC 26, CD 46). Their profiles were compared with those of a Chinese tea cultivar (C. morifolium CHR18) and a commercial herbal product (CH B). Chemical constituents were analyzed using GC-
