Seven primocane fall-bearing raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars, Nova (red), Dinkum (red), Heritage (red), Autumn Britten (red), Josephine, Anne (yellow), Fall Gold (yellow) were analysed for potential health promoting properties including their inhibitory effect on starch and fat digestive enzymes, antioxidant activities, and phenolic composition. The tested raspberry extracts showed no detectable inhibition of pancreatic α-amylase and lipase. However, all the extracts exhibited potent inhibition of α-glucosidase with IC₅₀ from 16.8 to 34.2μg/mL. Four phenolic compounds, ellagic acid, cyanidin-diglucoside, pelargonidin-3-rutinoside, and catechin were identified as the active α-glucosidase inhibitors. The raspberry extracts also possessed significant antioxidant activities with oxygen radical absorbance capacities (ORAC) ranging from 136.7 to 205.2μmol Trolox equivalents (TE)/g dry weight fruit and DPPH radical scavenging activities from 305 to 351μmol TE/g. The total phenolic content of raspberry cultivars varied significantly from 40.9 to 98.5mg of gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight. The anthocyanin content varied widely from 0.1 to 9.5mg cyanidin 3-glucoside equivalents/g. Nine phenolic acids were quantified in raspberries and their total amounts varied from 157.3 to 713.5μg/g. The enzyme inhibition and antioxidant properties of raspberry cultivars were not correlated with their total phenolic, anthocyanin, and phenolic acid content. Overall, ‘Dinkum' and ‘Josephine' raspberry varieties possess higher total phenolic content, ORAC, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than other five cultivars.
