Bioactive Molecules with Healthy Features to Food and Non-food Applications
The aim of this study, focused on the nutritional value of wild berries, was to determine
the contents of macronutrients, profiles of fatty (FAs) and amino acids (AAs), and the contents of
selected elements in red arils (RA) of Taxus baccata L., grown in diverse locations in Poland. Protein
(1.79–3.80 g/100 g) and carbohydrate (18.43–19.30 g/100 g) contents of RAs were higher than in
many cultivated berries. RAs proved to be a source of lipids (1.39–3.55 g/100 g). Ten out of 18 AAs
detected in RAs, mostly branched-chain AAs, were essential AAs (EAAs). The EAAs/total AAs
ratio approximating were found in animal foods.
