The antioxidants in goji berry (Lycium spp.) fruits might confer many health protective benefits by alleviating oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to describe quality traits and the level of potentially bioactive compounds (HPLC fingerprint) and their influence on fruit phytocomplex and antioxidant activity in goji in comparison with the most common fruits.

Goji berry was identified as a rich source of antioxidant compounds, with health-promoting properties comparable with other common fruit species. The obtained fingerprint may be useful to better understand the nutraceutical traits of this species recently considered as functional food thanks to its antioxidant properties.

Highlights

• The antioxidants in goji berry fruits might confer many health protective benefits.
• Goji is recently considered as functional food thanks to its antioxidant properties.
• Analytical fingerprint may be useful to better understand the nutraceutical traits.

Goji Berry are a natural fat burner. Berries block the storage of fat in the body.
The extract from the fruit is an ideal solution in order to provide yourself all the nutrients, essential for our body, including many vitamins such as pro-vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B8 or vitamin C and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, chromium and selenium (80 g) in 100 g of the fruit.
