“…In turn, higher content of anthocyanins were detected in the fruits of the Sampo and Samyl cultivars than in the fruits of the Korsor and Alleso cultivars. The presence of anthocyanins in elderberry fruits, in the form of cyanidin glycosides (3-sambubioside cyanidin, 3-glucoside cyanidin, 3-sambubioside-5-glucoside cyanidin and 3,5-diglucoside cyanidin), has been verified by other authors (Lee and Finn, 2007;Veberic et al, 2009). On the other hand, Lee and Finn (2007) detected trace quantities of 3-glucoside pelargonidin in the fruits of cv.…”

“…cinnamic acid). The dominant anthocyanins in elderberries are cyanidin glycosides: 3-glucoside cyanidin and 3-sambubioside cyanidin (Dawidowicz, et al, 2006;Kaack and Austed, 1998;Kaack et al, 2008;Veberic et al, 2009). Figure 1 (drawn by the author) shows the structural formulas of the major cyanidin glycosides present in elderberries.…”

“…Other compounds found in elderberries are organic acids (e.g. malic, citric, shikimic, fumaric, malonic, valeric acids), sugars, pectins and vitamins C and B (Dawidowicz et al, 2006;Veberic et al, 2009). Elderberries have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and pro-immunological properties (Zakay-Rones et al, 1995;Netzel et al, 2005).…”

“…Fresh fruits are rarely consumed and they are most commonly processed into syrups and jams. Recently, there has been growing interest in elderberry extracts used as soft drinks and/or food additives (Netzel et al, 2005;Veberic et al, 2009). In the human body, the absorption of anthocyanins is probably more efficient when they are derived from extracts rather than from fresh fruits, in which these compounds are not extracted from plant cells (Wu et al, 2002).…”

Background. The pharmaceutical and food industries expect detailed knowledge on the physicochemical properties of elderberry fruit extracts, their stability and microbiological quality, as well as the polyphenol content in elderberry cultivars. The characteristics of the extracts might be additionally modified by citric acid, which improves the stability of anthocyanins and protects processed fruits and syrups from pathogenic microorganisms. The choice of the method with citric acid was a consequence of the physicochemical characteristics of elderberry pigments, which are not stable under the effect of light in alcoholic solutions. The aim of study was to analyze the properties of elderberry fruit extracts regarding polyphenol content and antiradical activity, as well as their stability and microbiological quality. Material and methods. The plant material consisted of fruit from four cultivars (Alleso, Korsor, Sampo, Samyl) of black elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.). The following were determined in fruit extracts: polyphenolic content (HPLC), antiradical activity (ABTS and DPPH) and stability and microbiological quality. Results.The HPLC analysis of polyphenols demonstrated that the extracts from fruits collected from cv. Samyl had the highest 3-sambubioside cyanidin content and those from cv. Korsor contained the highest quantity of 3-glucoside cyanidin. The extracts from cv. Sampo fruit had a dominant 3-sambubioside-5-glucoside cyanidin and 3,5-diglucoside cyanidin content. The highest quercetin (5.92 mg 100 mg -1 of extract) and caffeic acid (1.21 mg 100 mg -1 of extract) content was found in fruit extracts from cv. Alleso. The cultivars Samyl and Korsor had a higher level of anthocyanins and higher antiradical activity (ABTS) in fruit extracts than cv. Alleso and Sampo. The antiradical activity (DPPH) of fruit extracts from elderberry cultivars assessed in this research was similar. The degradation index for all fruit extracts was similar (DI = 1.035). The microbiological species detected in extracts were classified as moulds (Penicillum sp., Aspergillus sp.) and yeasts (Rhodotorula sp., Torulopsis sp., Trichosporon sp., Saccharomyces sp.). Conclusions. The research findings may support the selection of certain cultivars for industrial applications. The high stability of anthocyanins and low level of microbiological impurities in elderberry extracts ensure the high quality of such a raw material in food and pharmaceutical processing.

All plant parts of black elder (leaves, berries, inflorescences, roots, shoots, bark) have a long history of use in herbal remedy or lots of culinary uses, widespread in almost every continent of the world. Pro-health properties indicated a role of black elderberry products intake in the prevention of cancer and diabetes. This paper presents an overview of the evaluation of biochemical compounds (sugars, organic acids, total phenolics, antioxidative activity, flavonoids, flavor and volatile compounds), found in flowers, berries and leaves of Sambucus nigra L. The variability of concentration compounds are found by uniform maturity of each phenophase of black elder, hence the need varieties improve the quantity and quality of its yield. Black elder has food industry properties associated with the presence of increased nutritive and decreased caloric value at fruits best correlated with the content of sugars and organic acids of flower, organic acids as a important metabolic pathway of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates. Several studies have confirmed that Sambucus nigra L. is a valuable raw material with many nutrients and bioactive substances, being extraordinarily rich in antioxidants, and the leaves are remarked as easily available source of antioxidant preparations in different domains (food products, pharmaceutics, or cosmetics). A bush of Sambucus nigra L. in the garden is our true handy pharmacy, a food market like as functional ingredient, a spot of color with unmistakable smell.

The research explored the influences of 2% and 4% heat‐treated fresh elderberry fruit mash supplement and 0.5% and 1% dried elderberry powder supplement before and after fermentation in kefir production on certain features of kefir beverage. Antioxidant activity, total monomeric anthocyanin, and total phenolic content were 16.69–75.67 (μmol TE/kg), 14.64–88.20 (mg cyn‐3‐gly/kg), and 167.94–531.33 mg GAE/kg in the samples during storage, respectively. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were higher in kefir samples produced with elderberry powder when compared to the other samples. It was determined that L* and b* increased with the decrease in the fruit supplement in kefir production, and L* and b* values were mostly higher in kefirs with fruit supplement before fermentation. The highest ACE inhibitor activity was observed in the kefir sample (1‐DEPre sample) with 1% dried elderberry supplement before fermentation on the first day of storage. It was determined that the general appreciation scores were above 3, and the samples produced mostly with dried elderberry powder were appreciated more when compared to the samples produced with fresh elderberry.
