ABSTRACT
A specific objective of this paper was to evaluate a quality of the fruit of individual cultivars Rubus taking into account their usefulness to organic farming. The berry fruits belong to different botanical groups. Type of the fruits is common feature of those fruits. To this fruit group belongo: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), tayberry (Rubus fruticosus x Rubus idaeus), black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.), malina kanadyjska (Rubus canadensis), jeżyna bezkolcowa (Rubus fruticosus). The berry fruits contain a lot of bioactive compounds, which are well known as antioxidants. Those compounds belong mostly to polyphenols group. Polyphenols are characterized by a potent antioxidant and anticancer properties. The experimental material was composed of the fruits of individual cultivars Rubus obtained from Polish Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Center for Biological Diversity Conservation in Powsin. The content of dry matter, vitamin C and polyphenols was measured in fruits. The obtained results showed that the cultivar has an impact on the nutritional value and the content of bioactive compounds in the berry fruit. The highest contents of dry matter, total flavonoids and anthocyanins were found in black raspberry fruit. Rubus canadensis fruit contained the highest content of vitamin C. The highest content of total polyphenols was observed in fruits of Rubus idaeus. In contrast, the highest content of total phenolic acids and quercetin was found in tayberry fruit. In conclusion, berry fruits can be used as good sources of antioxidants in diet and may have relevance in the prevention of diseases in which free radicals are implicated. They are easy in cultivation and can be recommended to organic cultivation.
