Evaluation of productivity and biochemical components in fruit of different Viburnum accessions
Laima ČESONIENĖ, Remigijus DAUBARAS, Pranas VIŠKELIS

Accessions of the genus Viburnum with edible fruits were investigated in the field collection of the Kaunas Botanical Garden of VMU and those most valuable were selected. Three accessions of V. opulus and the species V. trilobum were distinguished for productivity and raceme size. Biochemical examination of fruit revealed a considerable variation among the accessions in regarding the content of ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, phenolic compounds and carotenoids. V. trilobum and V. sargentii fruits should be appreciated as a source of valuable biochemical components, phenolic in particular.

Keywords: biochemical component, cultivar, fruit, productivity, variation
