Abstract
The results of the ascorbic acid content in the fruits and leaves of 10 persimmon cultivars from the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens’ collection are presented. It has been established that the concentration of ascorbic acid in technical persimmon fruits is 19,8-56,3 mg / 100 g, and in mature fruits it is 70-85% lower (5,08-8,96 mg / 100 g). Persimmon leaves contain 5-20 times more ascorbic acid than in fruits. The results showed the ability to use persimmon leaves as an additional source of vitamin C. The maximum content of ascorbic acid is allocated to the fruits of the cultivars Virginskaya Krupnoplodnaya, Delishes, Sidles and leaves of the cultivars Sidles and Zolotistaya.
