Some of these less well-known and underutilized fruits, which have the potential to provide novel sources of health-promoting agents, are presented in this chapter (i.e., Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal, Crataegus azarolus L., Lycium barbarum L., Morus nigra L., and Amelanchier canadensis (L.) Medicus). A diet containing high levels of fruits and vegetables has been associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases because, in addition to their high vitamin and mineral content, these foods also contain compounds with health-protective effects, in particular antioxidant and antiinflammatory compounds (Donno et al., 2013b) . Mulberries are sweet fruits and they play an important role in the food industry due to their high levels of bioactive compounds (mulberry fruits can vary in terms of their chemical composition and antioxidant properties).	./cache/cord-300574-nclkfw4h.txt	./txt/cord-300574-nclkfw4h.txt
