Included in the berry
species, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, currant, gooseberry, blueberry,
cranberry are widely consumed in the world. Particularly the existence of
vitamins, minerals and phenolic matters in their content makes them quite
valuable and important. The amount of research focusing on currants having
positive impacts on health and high functional properties is quite limited.
Thus, the current study was designed to investigate some of the currant and
gooseberry species that can be grown in Black Sea Region having great potential
for organic agriculture. On the
basis of this, the current study was designed to investigate in 2010-2011
period in the province of Trabzon that is in the Black Sea Region, which has an
important potential for organic production, 4 currant (Ribes nigrum, Ribes
rubrum) species (Ojebyn, Jonkheer van Tets, Tatran, Detvan) and a gooseberry
(Ribes uva-crispa) species (Mucurines) cultivated organically were used as
material. Botanic, phenological characteristics, natural antioxidant
contents and antioxidant capacities of these varieties have been determined. According to the
results, values for total phenolic matter of currant samples were found between
3048.58-5435.01 µg GAE/g fw; total anthocyanin between 110.63-686.50 µg
cyd-3-glu/g fw; ascorbic acid between 15.50-37.36 mg/100ml; FRAP between
9.35-13.72 µmol TE/g fw and TEAC between 10.58-20.13 µmol TE/g fw. The values
of gooseberry samples were found as total phenolic matter 2533.08 µg GAE/g fw;
ascorbic acid 13.07 mg/100ml; FRAP 4.42 µmol TE/g fw and TEAC 6.00 µmol TE/g
fw.
