Shedding Light into the Health‐beneficial Properties of Corema Album—a Vibrational Spectroscopy Study

Corema album (L.) D. Don is a wild maritime shrub endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, which contains bioactive compounds with promising chemoprotective activity. The present work reports the first study of the edible fruits of this potentially health-beneficial plant by complementary Raman and infrared techniques. Unique vibrational signatures were obtained for each part of the Corema album berries, revealing distinct chemical compositions for the skin (outer and inner) and the seeds, particularly regarding the content in phenolic derivatives, unsaturated fatty acids, and waxy polymers.
