A new and distinct cultivar of Sambucus plant named ‘Æ-1’, characterized by reliable fruit set, low chill requirement, early and even ripening, short harvest period, and high-quality fruit characteristics. The plant is self-compatible, producing abundant, medium to medium-large fruit after self-pollination, with high concentrations of specific anthocyanins. Additionally, ‘Æ-1’ is particularly suitable for large-scale, commercial production centered in North-Central Florida.

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating aging and aging-related diseases, comprising a Sambucus spp. extract or a compound isolated therefrom as an active ingredient. It has been confirmed that the Sambucus spp. extract or the compound isolated therefrom exhibits effects of suppressing the expression of p16, which is a cellular aging biomarker, and promoting autophagy. Accordingly, the Sambucus spp. extract or the compound isolated therefrom of the present invention is expected to be applicable to the development of therapeutic agents, functional health foods for amelioration, veterinary medicines, and animal feed compositions for aging or aging-related diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, sarcopenia, and osteoarthritis-related diseases.
