“…The concentration of gallic acid in ‘Thiessen’ is similar to Saskatoon berry ‘Martin’, reaching up to 27.7 mg/100 g, but the concentration of rutin in ‘Thiessen’ was two times higher. This fact can be caused by differences in stage of ripeness, and conditions of storage as it has been mentioned by intraspecific diversity of samples, [44,45], or the different procedures used in the extraction of samples [ 44 , 46 ].…”

Dry matter, organic acids, ascorbic acid, minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium) and polyphenolic profile of a number of non-traditional fruit species and their genotypes, namely blue honeysuckle ( Lonicera spp.), Saskatoon berry ( Amelanchier alnifolia ), black mulberry ( Morus nigra ), Tomentosa cherry ( Prunus tomentosa Thunb.) and jostaberry ( Ribes nigrum x Grossularia uva-crispa ) were investigated. The results showed that Lonicera genotypes displayed high levels of ascorbic acid and they were rich in minerals, with the cultivar ‘Amfora’ achieving the leading position in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content among all lesser known fruit species. Amelanchier cultivars represented a valuable source of ascorbic acid and calcium, ‘Tišňovský’ and ‘Smoky’ together with Morus nigra ‘Jugoslavska’ accumulated the highest level of examined polyphenolic compounds. Regular consumption of studied less common fruit species can bring health benefits so they can represent a high potential value for fruit growers and in addition they can be utilised as functional foods.

“…In addition, their seeds have a strong almond-like flavor. Fruit of the Saskatoon berry are suitable for homemade and industrial processing into different products, such as: juices, jams, smoothie-type products, lickers or dried foods [6][7][8].…”

The main goals of the study were to determine nutritional parameters including contents of organic acids, sugars, and bioactive compounds as well as the antioxidant activity of fruits and fruit components of seven selected Saskatoon berry (Alnifolia alnifolia) genotypes. Fruits of three Polish clones ('no 5/6', 'type N', and 'type S') and of four Canadian cultivars ('Martin', 'Pembina', 'Smoky', and 'Thiessen') and their components including peel, flesh and seeds were used in the study. The antioxidant potential was determined by the radical scavenging capacity assay, the profiles of organic acids and sugars were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography and the bioactive compounds were quantified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography. Fruits of the tested genotypes and their components differed significantly in their antioxidant activity and in their contents of sugars, organic acids and bioactive compounds. Fruits of the 'clone type S' showed the highest antioxidant activity, while those of cvs. 'Thiessen' and 'Smoky' had the highest amount of polyphenols and organic acids. The highest contents of organic acids and bioactive compounds were determined in the fruit peel of the cvs. 'Thiessen' and 'Smoky' and 'clone type S'. The total content of organic acids in fruits of the tested genotypes and their components ranged from 2.50 g/100 g dm (seeds) to 20.50 g/100 g dm (flesh). Malic, quinic, and tartaric acids were found to prevail in these fruits. In turn, the cluster analysis and principal components analysis helped determining the most important variables and identifying three groups of genotypes clustered depending on similarities in the content of individual compounds testes. Results indicated that fruits of the tested Saskatoon berry genotypes and their components were valuable sources of natural antioxidants, while fruit components such as peel and seeds could be used to develop new functional foods, and super foods with health-promoting properties, and also as medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic components.

“…Zatylny et al (2002) listed 'Honeywood', 'Northline', and 'Smoky' among their highest yielding cultivars in their experiment conducted in University of Saskatchewan and Moon Lake, SK, Canada. St-Pierre et al (2005) also had 'Honeywood', 'Northline', and 'Smoky' among their highest yielding cultivars. However, in North Dakota, 'Honeywood', 'Northline', and 'Smoky' were among the least productive cultivars.…”

A juneberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) cultivar trial was conducted to evaluate fruit yield, quality, and other characteristics for juneberry cultivars and a native biotype. One-year old micropropagated material was transplanted and established in North Dakota in 2004. The native biotype is available as a conservation plant from Towner State Nursery (Towner, ND) and was included as a readily available juneberry for producers. Fruit diameter, soluble solids content, yield (total and marketable), and plant size measurements were taken during the 2010 and 2011 season. ‘Martin’, the native biotype, ‘Parkhill’, ‘Pembina’, ‘Regent’, and ‘Thiessen’ produced the highest total yield in 2010, whereas ‘Parkhill’ had the highest total yield in 2011, followed by ‘Thiessen’ and then ‘Martin’. Cultivars Martin, Parkhill, and Thiessen produced the highest marketable yield over the 2-year study. ‘Martin’ and ‘Thiessen’ fruit were larger and heavier than the rest of the cultivars. The largest plants were ‘Martin’, ‘Parkhill’, ‘Regent’, and ‘Thiessen’. Soluble solids concentrations were similar among all cultivars. Cultivars Martin or Thiessen should be recommended to commercial producers wanting a high yielding cultivar with uniform fruit ripening, whereas Parkhill should be recommended to producers with a you-pick operation wanting a high yielding cultivar with an extended fruit ripening period.
