Morus alba e Morus nigra, il gelso bianco e il gelso nero, sono due specie appartenenti alla famiglia delle Moraceae. Le foglie e i frutti sono ricchi di composti attivi a livello biologico, da secoli vengono utilizzati dalle medicine tradizionali. Studi attuali hanno dimostrato che i composti presenti sono responsabili delle proprietà benefiche della pianta. In particolare dell’effetto antiossidante e di regolazione del metabolismo dei lipidi. I frutti sono inoltre molto versatili, si possono ottenere sciroppi, marmellate ed estratti. Le foglie possono essere utilizzate per fare del tè. Sono quindi degli ottimi ingredienti per futuri cibi funzionali.

Abstract
Morus alba e Morus nigra, white and black mulberry, are two species from the Moraceae family. The leaves and the fruits are rich in bioactive compounds at a biological level, since centuries agp they have been used in traditional medicines. Recent studies demonstrated that the compound found in the plant are responsible for the benefical properties. In particular, of the antioxidant and lipid metabolism regulator capability. Even more, the fruits are very versatile, sirups, jams and extract can be obtained from them. The leaves can be used to make teas. Consequentially, they are optimal ingredients for functional foods.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
