| Summary: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the content of ellagic acid in
blackberries, as well as in the juice of different blackberry cultivars
obtained using a specific technology. The analysis of the ellagic acid
content in the test samples was performed using the high-pressure liquid
chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD). Results showed
considerable variations in ellagic acid content in the test blackberry fruit
samples, the highest being determined in the fruit of the blackberry-
raspberry hybrid cv. 'Tayberry' (54.794 mg/100 g fresh weight), and the
lowest in blackberry cv. 'Čačanska Bestrna' (1.852 mg/100 g fresh weight).
The ellagic acid content in the 'Tayberry' juice produced using the specific
technology was very high and almost identical to that in fruits. |
