EVALUATION OF BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SOME HONEYSUCKLE FRUITS SELECTIONS (Lonicera caerulea)
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Lonicera caerulea var. kamschatica. L. is called “bluehoneysucle” in countries where it is cultivated; in this paper we call it “fruiting lonicera”. This is one of the few species of Lonicera with edible fruits. Lonicera selections fruit trees obtained at the RIFG Pitesti have noted a number of features, such as early fruit ripening, winter frost resistance, adaptability to different climatic conditions, rich in anthocyanins berries and a high antioxidant activity. Biochemical analysis show contents of honeysuckle fruits with high antioxidant substances. There were analyzed 22 Lonicera caerulea selections, grown on soil that belongs to the type wet aluvisoil formed on fluvial deposits with clay and sand particle at the RIFG Pitesti. High content of vitamin C in some selections makes Lonicera caerulea to be comparable with most species rich in vitamin C. Selection SL 62 has accumulated the highest amount of vitamin C, and were significant differences compared to the other selections. The largest total anthocyanin content was obtained from the selection SL 59, significantly different from the other analyzed selections.
