“…[7] The significant property of anthocyanins is their antioxidant activity, which plays a vital role in the prevention of neuronal and cardiovascular illnesses, cancer and diabetes, among others. [8] ANTs, which belong to the flavonoid class, are secondary metabolites of higher plants and are responsible for the blue, red and purple colors of fruits, vegetables and flowers. There is a huge variety of anthocyanins spread in nature.…”

Two cultivars of chokeberry -'Nero' and Polish 'Galicjanka' are sold in Poland. Sometimes, there are also present the seedlings of 'Viking' and 'Hugin' cultivars. In the experiment some morphological characteristics, the quality of fruits and chemical composition of four chokeberry cultivars ('Galicjanka' , 'Hugin' , 'Nero' , 'Viking') were compared. Chokeberry plants were grown at the Experimental Station of Pomology Department at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. Fruits collected from 'Hugin' cultivar shrubs were the smallest (100 fruits weight was 32 g) and the least juice was obtained from them (73.6%); however, they were characterised by the highest content of soluble solids (18.7°Bx), titratable acids (1.05 g), polyphenols (2340 mg), especially cyanidin 3-galactoside as well as nitrates (98.5 mg) and nitrites (1.87 mg). The 'Hugin' cultivar was characterised by light-coloured fruits, and, as a result, by lightcoloured juice. Fruits of 'Galicjanka' cultivar were the biggest, 100 fruits weight was 111,7 g. In fruits of the 'Nero' and 'Viking' cultivars, the content of individual components was at the lowest level. These cultivars have the largest amount of substances colouring fruits, pulp as well as red and blue juices, are also the darkest and the dark juice was obtained from them. Maceration of fruit pulp resulted in a significant change of colour of the juice obtained, it become darker and had a more intense blue colour.

“…are edible and rich in vitamin C and contain a large amount anthocyanin (Wallace and Giusti 2008;Akbulut et al 2009;Parichehr and Golkho 2009). Anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds are potent scavengers of free radicals, although they can also behave as pro-oxidants (Konczak and Zhang 2004).…”

The present study was conducted to evaluate some physical properties of sun dried Berberis fruit as a function of moisture content, varying from 9.59% to 27.90% (w.b.). Dried fruit length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter and sphericity, increased nonlinearly from 7.19 to 7.53 mm; 3.42 to 4.03 mm; 2.78 to 3.02 mm; 4.05 to 4.51 mm and 0.56 to 0.62, respectively with increased moisture content. When we tested 1000-dried fruits, their mass increased linearly from 3.10 to 4.89 g, the true and bulk density increased nonlinearly from 769 to 845 kg m −3 and 389 to 395 kg m −3 , respectively; with increased moisture content. Also, porosity values of dried fruits increased nonlinearly from 49.40% to 53.30%. The lowest static coefficient of friction was found on the steel surface. The angle of repose increased nonlinearly from 20.14°to 23.20°with the increasing in the moisture content.
