Researchers evaluated the antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities of Sorbus torminalis fruits and found high levels of antioxidant activity in water, ethyl acetate, and acetone extracts. The water extract also showed moderate ability to inhibit AChE. These findings suggest that the fruits of S. torminalis may be a natural source of antioxidants and AChE inhibitors.
