Smoothies are claimed to be an effective way of promoting fruit and vegetable consumption. They are a rich source of bioactive compounds and provide numerous health benefits. Strawberries and apples are among the most popular smoothie ingredients. Additionally, chokeberry presents antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Another interesting fruit with a wide range of health benefits is the honeysuckle berry. In this study, a dry extract from the mentioned fruit was combined to produce a smoothie enriched in bioactive compounds of unique health-promoting properties. The smoothies were rich in anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, flavan-3-ols and iridoids. Smoothies with higher concentrations of a polyphenol-iridoid honeysuckle berry extract (0.50%) were the products of a greater content of bioactive compounds and higher antioxidant activity compared to those with no extract or a lower amount (0.25%). However, the sensory evaluation showed that, according to customers, the least attractive smoothies are those with the greatest amounts of the honeysuckle berry extract. Therefore, the correct balance between taste and bioactivity should be sought in order to obtain an innovative product showing characteristics of functional food.
奶昔据称是促进水果和蔬菜消费的有效方式。它们是生物活性化合物的丰富来源，并具有诸多健康益处。草莓和苹果是最受欢迎的奶昔原料之一。此外，黑果腺肋花楸具有抗菌、抗病毒和抗炎特性。另一种具有广泛健康益处的有趣水果是金银花浆果。在本研究中，将上述水果的干提取物混合，制成富含具有独特健康促进特性的生物活性化合物的奶昔。这些奶昔富含花青素、黄酮醇、酚酸、黄烷 - 3 - 醇和环烯醚萜苷。与不含提取物或提取物含量较低（0.25%）的奶昔相比，含有较高浓度多酚 - 环烯醚萜苷金银花浆果提取物（0.50%）的奶昔含有更多的生物活性化合物，且具有更高的抗氧化活性。然而，感官评价表明，在消费者看来，最缺乏吸引力的奶昔是那些金银花浆果提取物含量最高的奶昔。因此，应寻求味道和生物活性之间的正确平衡，以获得具有功能性食品特征的创新产品。
