“…TP values increased during ripening, reached a maximum value in fully mature berries and then declined in overmature berries (E) (Table 2). A similar increasing tendency of TP content in elderberries was observed by Mathieu et al (2015). In fully mature berries, the TP content ranged from 1,141 to 3,097 mg 100 g -1 DW in the various genotypes (Supplemental Table S1).…”

“…Thus, determining the optimal harvest time may be the decisive factor in improving crop management and quality (Awad et al, 2001). In most cases, the harvesting date is determined when fruits become typically coloured, but as Mathieu et al (2015) report, some chemicals reach their highest contents up to a month before berries are declared visually ripe, and others 14 days later. On the other hand, maturity stage is important also because of contents of potentially toxic compounds.…”

“…Elderberries are known for their high content of phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins [56,57]. Since these compounds showed an increasing pattern during the maturation process of elderberries [15][16][17]19,46], a similar pattern could be explained for AOA.…”

“…canadensis [29,30] has been studied previously. However, little is known about the antioxidant activity of maturing elderberry fruits [15,16] and even less about the antioxidant activity of fruits of elderberry interspecific hybrids [42]. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to compare different assays (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP and ORAC) for estimating antioxidant activities in the extracts of maturing fruits of elderberry interspecific hybrids.…”

Antioxidant activity (AOA) in fruits of Sambucus nigra and several new elderberry interspecific hybrids involving S. javanica (JA), S. nigra subsp. nigra (NI), S. nigra subsp. nigra ‘Black Beauty’ (BB), S. nigra subsp. cerulea (CER) and S. racemosa (S. racemosa subsp. racemosa (RAC), S. racemosa subsp. racemosa var. miquelii (MIQ), S. racemosa subsp. tigranii (TIG), S. racemosa subsp. kamtschatica—coreana (KOR) at five maturity stages were investigated by applying DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) and ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) assays. The aim of the study was to compare different assays for estimating AOA in elderberries, to plan the appropriate harvest time and to determine whether the most promising genotypes could be predicted in advance. All assays used showed that AOA increased significantly during maturation. All assays were significantly correlated with each other and could be reliably used for the AOA determination of elderberries. In fully mature berries, significant correlations were also found between total phenolic (TP) content and AOA by all assays, but no significant correlations were found between total ascorbic acid (TAA) content and AOA by all assays. At the fully mature stage, (the most appropriate stage for harvesting), berries of (JA × NI) × BB and (JA × NI) × MIQ were found to be superior in AOA and TP content. Genotypes with higher/lower AOA and TP content could not be predicted in advance, while TAA showed the opposite.

American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is a plant native to North America with anthocyanin-rich fruits. Our objective was to investigate the effects of cultivar and ripeness on the phytochemical characteristics of its fruits and the corresponding color performance. Cultivars ‘Adams’, ‘Johns’, ‘Nova’, ‘Wyldewood’, and ‘York’ were examined for their °Brix, pH, anthocyanin (pH-differential method), and phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau method). Extract composition were analyzed by uHPLC-PDA-MS/MS. Color and spectra were determined using a plate reader. All characteristics evaluated were significantly affected by ripeness and cultivar, except for °Brix and total phenolic content, which did not vary significantly among cultivars. Most anthocyanins (63–72%) were acylated with p-coumaric acid, with cyanidin-3-(trans)-coumaroylsambubioside-5-glucoside the most predominant. The proportion of acylated anthocyanins was the only characteristic evaluated that decreased during ripening (from 80 to 70%). Extract from fully-ripened fruits exhibited red (lvis-max ~520 nm) and blue hues (lvis-max ~600 nm) at acidic and alkaline pH, respectively. Extracts from half-ripe fruit rendered yellowish tones and overall dull color. C-18 semi-purified extracts displayed higher color saturation (smaller L* and larger C*ab) than crude extracts. The vibrant and broad color expression of fully-ripened fruit extract, especially after C-18 purification, suggests this North American native plant as a promising natural colorant source.
