Abstract
Elderberry cultivars âAlbidaâ, âAllesA¶â, âAureaâ, âBohatkaâ, âDanaâ, âHaschbergâ, âHeidegg 13â, âKA¶rsA¶râ, âMammutâ, âPregartenâ, âRiese aus VoAlochâ, âSamboâ, âSambuâ, âSamdalâ, âSampoâ, âSamylâ, âWeihenstephanâ and wild elderberry were grown in a unique experimental collection of elderberry at the Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology at Holovousy Ltd. This collection was examined for composition of substances in fruits because elderberry has high concentrations of compounds with antioxidative activity, especially anthocyanins, flavonoids and vitamins. The aim of this study was to compare content of selected substances in fruits of elderberry cultivars and wild elderberry. Results showed the highest juice yield in cultivars âAllesA¶â, âHaschbergâ, âKA¶rsA¶râ and âSamylâ. In contrast, the lowest juice yield was detected in fruits of wild elderberry as well as âAureaâ and âSamboâ cultivars. The highest total antioxidant capacity was found in fruits of âHaschbergâ, followed by wild elderberry and âWeihenstephanâ, âPregartenâ and âRiese aus VoI²lochâ. The lowest values were recorded in cultivars âAlbidaâ and âAureaâ. High content of reducing sugars was found in cultivars âSamdalâ, âHaschbergâ and âKA¶rsA¶râ compared to other cultivars and wild elderberry.
