This research aimed to collect data on the biochemical composition of different parts of the raspberry variety \u2018Polka\u2019, including the various morphological parts, to present the importance of differentiating plant parts in food processing, and to show the potential of usage for primary processing in different fields of the food industry. Fruits, stems (cane), leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots were evaluated according to their chemical composition and mineral (Ca, Mg, B, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn) contents, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity. In our study, the contents of inverted sugar, saccharose, and total sugar varied from 51.8 \u00b1 2.46 %, 18.9 \u00b1 0.31 %, and 69.7 \u00b1 4,36 % in raspberry puree to 5.9 \u00b1 %, 1.51 \u00b1 %, 7.39 \u00b1 % in the seeds, respectively. The results regarding the mineral composition of various raspberry parts (mg\/kg) indicated significant differences (p &lt; 0.05). The contents of manganese and iron (57.6 \u00b1 0.50; 36.9 \u00b1 0.59) were the highest in all the parts in the plant. Manganese varied from 246 \u00b1 10.32 in inflorescence to 40.1 \u00b1 0.87 in the seeds. Iron fluctuated from 1553 \u00b1 44.03 in the roots to 35.5 \u00b1 0.15 in the seeds. The highest statistically significant boron content (p &lt; 0.05) was found in the leaves (41.8 \u00b1 0.33), while the lowest was in the seeds (7.17 \u00b1 0.19). The total phenol content of the raspberry\u2019s distinct parts ranged from 6500 mg GAE\/100 g DW to 1700 mg GAE\/100 g DW. The inflorescence had the considerably highest total phenol content. Our study found that the highest amount of epicatechin is found in the roots (9162.1 \u00b1 647.86 mg), while the fruits contain only 657.5 \u00b1 92.99, and the lowest value is in the stems (130.3 \u00b1 9.22). High levels of procyanidin B2 were found in the raspberry roots (7268.7 \u00b1 513.98), while the stems had the lowest value\u2013368.4 \u00b1 26.05. The DPPH of the raspberry morphological parts ranged from 145.1 to 653.6 \u00b5mol TE\/g FW, ABTS\u2014from 1091.8 to 243.4 \u00b5mol TE\/g FW, and the FRAP\u2014from 720.0 to 127.0 \u00b5mol TE\/g FW. The study revealed the importance of differentiating plant parts in production for the quality of the final product. Studies showed that raspberry plant parts represent a potential source of natural food ingredients, and can be a potential raw material for products rich in phenolic compounds or dietary fiber, which can provide healthy properties to food when used as an additive that may be economically attractive for consumers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants12132424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,26]],"date-time":"2023-06-26T02:40:23Z","timestamp":1687747223000},"page":"2424","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Biochemical and Antioxidant Profiling of Raspberry Plant Parts for Sustainable Processing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Audron\u0117","family":"Ispiryan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Instituto al. 1, Akademija, LT-58344 K\u0117dainiai, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1074-8384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonas","family":"Vi\u0161kelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Instituto al. 1, Akademija, LT-58344 K\u0117dainiai, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5546-0168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pranas","family":"Vi\u0161kelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Instituto al. 1, Akademija, LT-58344 K\u0117dainiai, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2913-2739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalia","family":"Urbonavi\u010dien\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, Instituto al. 1, Akademija, LT-58344 K\u0117dainiai, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7324-0043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lina","family":"Raudon\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Sukileliu Av. 13, 50162 Kaunas, Lithuania"},{"name":"Laboratory of Biopharmaceutical Research, Institute of Pharmaceutical Technologies, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Sukileliu Av. 13, 50162 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"218","DOI":"10.1016\/j.phytochem.2006.10.014","article-title":"Anti-proliferative activity is predominantly associated with ellagitannins in raspberry extracts","volume":"68","author":"Ross","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
