Abstract
Summary.Elderberry is shown to be a good source of anthocyanins (Acy), having between 2–10 mg Acylg berry. Anthocyanin concentration is very dependent on variety and maturity. Pressing of the berries gives a significant difference between weight distribution (pomace = 25–40% of total weight) and anthocyanin distribution (Acy in pomace = 75–98% of total Acy). Freezing of the berries prior to pressing gives much less pomace weight, with only a small reduction of anthocyanin distribution in the pomace. Tests of various extraction media (HCl acidified alcohols, aqueous HC1 and aqueous citfic acid) showed the highest anthocyanin recovery for aqueous HCl(0.1 M). Multiple extraction tests show that most of the anthocyanin is extracted from the pomace within two to three steps. The influence of extraction time and extraction temperature is discussed.
