| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this work was comparative study of composition and antimicrobial properties in eleven cultivars of honeysuckle berries. Using spectrophotometric methods, we compare the content of total phenolic compounds (TPC) and anthocyanis, chromatic characteristics of berries, which were grown in collection of Vytautas Magnus University Botanical Garden and collected at maturation stage. Also, content of ascorbic acid and saccharides were evaluated by HPLC using diode ray and light scattering detectors. Antimicrobial activity of ethanolic and water extracts of honeysuckle berry was evaluated by the agar well diffusion method. Bacterial tests have identified antimicrobial properties of honeysuckle berries against undesirable in food products bacteria but without affecting Candida and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The cultivar ‘Morena’ had the highest anthocyanins (781 mg/100 g) and total phenolic compounds (799 mg/100 g), the lowest anthocyanins (282 mg/100 g) and TPC (300 mg/100 g) content was detected in ‘Vostorg’ cultivar. Cultivars ‘Pavlovskaja’ and ‘Pereselenka’ had high content of ascorbic acid. The maximum glucose and fructose content were detected in ‘Leningradskaja’ cultivar. |
