Sažetak
There is epidemiological evidence that insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables can lead to chronic health problems, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Phytochemicals with strong antioxidant properties, such as polyphenols present in fruits and vegetables, may participate in the prevention of the above-mentioned diseases, which leads to an increased interest for identifying these components in plants. Good source of antioxidants is the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L., Ericaceae). It is an evergreen shrub typical for the Mediterranean area. Its leaves are used in folk medicine in therapies against hypertension and diabetes. The aim of this work was to establish a polyphenolic profile (''fingerprint'') of the samples of lyophilisate of leaves of a strawberry tree from Croatia. A polyphenolic profile was obtained by using ultra-preformance liquid chromatography coupled to Orbitrap mass spectrometry. More than 40 phenolic acids and flavonoids were identified according to the corresponding spectral characteristics: mass spectra, accurate mass, characteristic fragmentation, and characteristic retention time.
