Introduction | One of the best plant sources of vitamin C is rose hips, which is particularly high in the vitamin. The amount of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in fresh rose hips and numerous commercially available products, however, varied widely, ranging from 0.03 to 1.3%, according to RP-HPLC assays. Vitamin C has been obtained from rose hips in the past. The carotenoids beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene are found in rose hips. These compounds are being studied in basic biology for a number of potential biological functions, including their ability to prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein. |
