Although p-cryptoxanthin was not the major carotenoid in three cultivars of sea buckthorn berries, their contents were higher than those found in other fruits (Table 4.2.2).

Oil from the soft parts of sea buckthorn berry is already used as a raw material for functional foods and cosmetics in China, Russia, Europe, and North America. Animal experiments and clinical trials have shown protective, tissue-regenerative, and anti-inflammatory effects of the oil on skin and mucosa (Yang, 2001). There is evidence that the oil may regulate immune function, inhibit oxidation, suppress the growth of cancer cells, and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The physiological effects of sea buckthorn oils have recently been reviewed (Yang, 2001). 

Oils from macadamia nut and the soft parts of sea buckthorn berries are both rich sources of palmitoleic acid. A wide range of positive health effects of sea buckthorn oil are indicated by the long history of application of the berries in China, and by clinical trials and animal experiments carried out in several countries. In addition to the fatty acids, several unsaponifiable components in sea buckthorn oil (phytosterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids) probably play an inportant role in the health effects of the oil. Isolation of palmitoyl-ACP-specific A -desaturases and expression of the corresponding genes in plants and microorganisms provides promising alternative enriched sources of palmitoleic acid.

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamtwides). This is a hardy bush growing wUd in several parts of Asia and Europe and now cultivated in Europe, North America, and Japan. It is resistant to cold, drought, salt, and alkali. Different oils are available from the seeds and from the pulp/peel, but these are not always kept separate. Several health benefits are claimed for this oil, which is now available in encapsulated form and is being incorporated into functional foods. The oil is rich in sterols, carotenoids, and tocopherols. The seed oil is rich in 18 1, 18 2, and 18 3, but the berry oil contains significant levels of 16 1 (16-22%) (166-169). 

Sea buckthorn is native to Asia and Europe. It is a hardy plant that is also being considered as a major commercial crop in Canada. It has been used in Tibetan, Mongolian, and Chinese traditional medicine for more than 1000 years, and has demonstrated many beneficial health attributes (6). The fruit has a good flavor and is rich in nutrients. The whole berries contain a higher concentration of... 

Seaberry (Sea buckthorn). Intrepid consumers may come across fresh or frozen berries from artisan outlets in southern Canada, but otherwise this superfruit is not grown on a commercial scale in North America and is not widely imported, so it is rare in American stores. Seaberry products are popular in a variety of fresh, dried, beverage, and kitchen products in northern Europe, Russia, India, and Southeast Asia.

Sea comes from the berry s ability to thrive in sandy soils and salty air near seas of its native lands in Asia and Europe buck is a reference to a botanical family of more than one hundred buckthorn shrub and tree species and thorn is for the long, sharp thorns all along the branches of the shrub—which make the seaberry difficult to harvest mechanically.
