Son yıllarda bitkilerin içermiş oldukları bazı biyoaktif maddelerin insan sağlığı üzerine olumlu etkilerinden (antioksidan, antimikrobiayal, antikanser, vb.) dolayı, bu maddelerce zengin bulunan meyvelere olan talep giderek artmaktadır. Akdeniz bölgesinin tipik bitkisi olan Mersin (Mrytus communis L.) meyve, tohum ve yaprakları biokaktif bileşenlerce zengindir. Özellikle siyah meyveli olan genotiplerin fenolik madde bakımından çok daha zengin olduğu bilinmektedir. Mersin meyve ve yapraklarından elde edilen ekstraktların antioksidant ve antimikrobiyal etkileri de oldukça yüksektir. Bu bakımdan hem katkı maddesi olarak hem de alternatif tıp alanında geniş bir kullanım alanı vardır. Bu çalışmada mersin bitkisinin biyokimyasal özellikleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar incelenerek, konu hakkındaki bilgiler özetlenmiştir.

Bioactive Compounds of Myrtle Plant (Myrtus communis L.)

Öz

Resently, consumption of some fruit species are getting increased, because of the positive effects (antioxidant, antimikrobiayal, anticancer, etc.) of phytochemicals they contain on human health. Leaves, seeds and fruits of Myrtle (Mrytus communis L.), is a typical plant of Mediterranean,are very rich based on bioactive compounds.Especially, it is known that genotypes with black fruit are richer than other ones in terms of phenolics. Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the extracts obtained from the leaves and fruits of myrtle are also very high. In this regard, they were largely used as food preservative and in traditional medicine. The resent studies on the biochemical properties of myrtle were summarized in this review.
