Phenolic phytochemicals were extracted from blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and Noble muscadine grapes. These extracts were purified to remove free sugars. Blueberry extract was separated into five fractions using a Sephadex LH-20 column. Berry extracts and fractions significantly inhibited AGEs generation in (bovine serum albumin) BSA-fructose, BSA-methylglyoxal, and arginine-methylglyoxal models, respectively. Their capacity to scavenge methylglyoxal suggested carbonyl scavenging as a major mechanism of protein glycation inhibition. Procyanidins were detected in all berry extracts and blueberry subfractions and were deduced to be one class of active compounds. (+)-Catechin, constituent unit of procyanidins, was used as a model compound to react with glyoxal and methylglyoxal. Five catechin-carbonyl adducts were detected and their structures were tentatively identified using HPLC-ESI-MSn. Results in this study suggested that sugar-free phytochemicals extracted from berries were effective carbonyl scavengers and protein glycation inhibitors. These phytochemicals could be beneficial to prevent AGE-related chronic diseases. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
