Characterization of European cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus L.) genetic resources in Turkey (original) (raw)

Scientia Horticulturae, 2020

Abstract

In this study, a comprehensive morphological and biochemical characterization of 14 European Cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus L.) genotypes that were collected from Gumushane province of Turkey is provided. Additionally, their potentials as cultivar candidate, natural antioxidants, colorants and ingredients were exploited. Yield per bush, fruit weight, number of fruits per raceme and number of racemes per bush were ranged from 4.7 kg to 6.2 kg; 0.53 to 0.86 g; 34.4–53.1 and 119–307 among genotypes indicating high diversity. The majority of genotypes (8) had red fruit skin color and rest of the genotypes had equally light red and dark red fruit skin color. European Cranberrybush fruits had medium level vitamin C content (28−43 mg per 100 g fresh fruit) and the genotypes had SSC (Soluble Solid Content) between 10.40 and 12.20 %. Crude protein and crude cellulose of the genotypes varied from 5.67 to 6.71 (%) and 16.6–18.7 (%), respectively. Total phenol and total anthocyanin content rang...
