Around 450 species of blueberries the genus Vaccinium are known, which some have gained preferential breeding, such as ‘Biloxi’ variety. Some little studied species, leucanthum Schltdl. located in Mexico, could be a potential source bioactive compounds. In this study, phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid content, hyperoside, phenols, flavonoids, tannins and total anthocyanins content) well biological activity (antioxidant, antimicrobial, xanthine oxidase converting enzyme inhibition angiotensin I inhibition) were studied, making comparison with Biloxi variety, is most widely cultivated one. The extract V. showed highest content flavonoids (4.853 ± 0.341 mg QE/g DW), (0.303 0.008 CGE/g petunidin-3-glucoside (6.92 0.12 PGE/g malvidin-3-glucoside (11.80 0.10 MGE/g DW) hyperoside (5.137 0.100 HE/g DW). It should noted that same tannin efficacy Angiotensin I-converting ‘Biloxi’, antibacterial effect against enterobacteria Salmonella choleraesuis ATCC 12022, Escherichia coli 12792and Shigella flexneri 10708. These findings demonstrate extracts an important preservatives nutraceutical for use foods medicines.

The genus Vaccinium, which includes approximately 450 species, features economically significant berries such as bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) and blueberries corymbosum). Bilberries flourish in acidic, well-drained soils, typically found heathlands coniferous forests, while benefit from a broader range of soil types intensive agricultural practices. Sustainable cultivation strategies, including organic fertilization efficient water management, are vital for optimizing production addressing the environmental challenges posed by climate change. Both rich antioxidants other nutrients, driving consumer interest market growth despite competition alternative crops. Additionally, tailored techniques crucial maximizing yield fruit quality. By implementing circular economy principles, can enhance sustainability profitability, ensuring their long-term success systems.
