Fragaria × ananassa

Summary

Strawberry is cultivated in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan. It is harvested between November and March and varies from region to region. Phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins are secondary metabolites in strawberry. Cyanidin 3-Glucoside, ellagitannin and pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside are the major bioactive compound present in the fruit. Cyanidin 3-Glucoside an anthocyanin has been reported to exhibit antiproliferative activity by inhibiting cell growth of highly metastatic cancer cells and that such effects involved significant alteration in cell cycle regulators to result in G2/M arrest. Ellagitannin a tannin has been reported to show anti-inflammatory by Inhibiting NF-κB pathway. Pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside another anthocyanin has been reported to show anti-inflammatory by arresting IkB-α activation and reduction in JNKMAPK phosphorylation.
