The bioactive compounds were identified from nuts, raw seeds of almonds, dry cranberries, dry plums and flax seeds. Secoisolariciresinol (683 ppm) has been identified as a major compound in flax seeds. The vitamin C was quantified by HPLC in a concentration of 35.02 mg% in cranberries extract. The total phenolic content varied from 7.1 mg/g for walnut to 71.8 mg/g for cranberries. In addition, the antioxidative capability of phenolic compounds was monitored and evaluated using a colored free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Almond showed better results than walnut in the antioxidant capacity test. The results obtained in this study collect information that enables the use of nuts, raw seeds of almonds, dry cranberries, dry plums and flax seeds as raw material for the production of smart bar which may serve as a new product for food market.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Notulae Scientia Biologicae}, author={RUS, Valentina Mariana and DULF, Francisc Vasile and SOCACIU, Carmen and POP, Oana Lelia and RANGA, Floricuta and FETEA, Florinela and VODNAR, Dan Cristian}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={470–473} }
