The objective of the study was to evaluate the growth and yields of selected varieties of Cornelian cherry (’Elegantní’, ’Fruchtal’, ’Jaltský’, ’Jolico’, ’Lukjanovský’, ’Vydubecký’, ’Vyšegorodský’) over a 5-year period. We evaluated the following: differences in growth, plant volume, external appearance, yield data and from samples of the fruit the composition and content of selected mineral elements. The following mineral elements were determined in the fruit samples: P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn, as well as other parameters: content of solids, degree of refraction, content of acids, vitamin C and pectin.Evaluations were carried out in 2007–2011 and statistically significant differences in the plant volume were discovered among the varieties; Vyšegorodský is a high-volume variety (3.25 m3); the volume of variety Jolico is small (1.86 m3). In terms of yields the variety Fruchtal ranks among the more productive varieties (6.99 kg.plant−1); in contrast the yields of the variety Jaltský were lower (5.07 kg. plant−1). Differences among the varieties were significant only in the contents of K, Mg, Na and Fe. The Ca and P contents ranged between 301 and 365 mg.kg−1 and 313 and 412 mg.kg−1, respectively. The K content in the fruit was the lowest in variety Vydubecký (3411 mg.kg−1) and the highest in the variety Fruchtal (3798 mg.kg−1). The Mg content was lower in varieties Elegantní (241 mg.kg−1) and Fruchtal (237 mg. kg−1); the Mg content was higher in varieties Jaltský (281 mg.kg−1), Jolico (288 mg.kg−1), Lukjanovský (292 mg. kg−1) and Vyšegorodský (290 mg.kg−1). The Na content was the lowest in the fruit of variety Fruchtal (58 mg.kg−1); the Na content was significantly higher in varieties Vydubecký (81 mg.kg−1) and Jaltský (82 mg.kg−1). The Zn content ranged between 2.65 and 3.52 mg.kg−1. The Fe content in fruit was the lowest in variety Fruchtal (41 mg.kg−1) and was significantly higher in variety Lukjanovský (49 mg.kg−1). The Cu content ranged between 1.09 and 1.74 mg.kg−1. The Mn content ranged between 24 and 29 mg.kg−1. The average degree of refraction was 15 o Bx. The acid content was significantly the highest in variety Fruchtal (2.78 %); the content was medium in varieties Elegantní (2.24 %) Jolico (2.28 %) and Vydubecký (2.11 %), and was significantly the lowest in variety Lukjanovský (1.76 %). No significant differences in the content of vitamin C were discovered among the varieties. The average content of vitamin C was 61 mg in 100 g of fresh mass of the fruit. The achieved data confirmed that Cornelian cherry is a valuable plant due to its undemanding cultivation, wide-ranging possibilities of its commercial use and its properties when used in landscape and ornamental gardening.

In this study, cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) peel (CCP) was incorporated into a probiotic ice cream formulation containing Bifidobacterium lactis to investigate the potential effect of CCP on the viability of B. lactis in the ice cream after simulated gastrointestinal stress and during 120 days of storage. Furthermore, the effect of the addition of CCP (3, 6, and 9%) on bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and physicochemical and sensory attributes of the ice cream was evaluated. The results showed that the addition of CCP significantly enhanced vitamin C, total polyphenols, total anthocyanin content, and antioxidant activity of the ice cream. During frozen storage of the ice cream, phenolic compounds and anthocyanins were quite stable, but vitamin C significantly decreased. The addition of CCP had no significant effect on the viability of B. lactis throughout the freezing process, but increments of 6% and 9% CCP increased the viability of B. lactis in the ice cream and after simulated gastrointestinal processes in all storage periods. These findings imply that CCP is a promising candidate to be used for producing functional ice cream.

Cornelian cherry is a little-known plant that can be grown in Poland both on a commercial and amateur scale. The commercial cornelian cherry plantations should be established using selected cultivars or vegetatively propagated valuable ecotypes, as only this guarantees a uniform yield, maturation and standardization of fruit quality. The experiment was carried out in 2014 and 2015 in the private plantation of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) located in Dąbrowica, near Lublin (22.454 N; 51.270 E). The subject of the research were ecotypes No.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15 obtained as seedlings in 1998. Cornelian cherry plants obtained from seeds differed very much in the yield and quality of fruit. The fruit characteristics for the examined ecotypes ranged to 1.63–2.21 g for fruit weight, 1.30–1.61 for fruit shape index, 10.13–15.32% for content of stone, 17.85–22.68% for soluble solids content (SSC), 2.32–3.0% for titratable acidity (TA), 6.59–8.36 for SSC/TA, 54.9–75.97 for vitamin C content. Among the ecotypes studied in terms of external fruit features, ecotypes No. 3 and 4 were distinguished due to the largest fruits (mass and diameter) and relatively small share of the stone in the whole mass of the fruit. However, due to the chemical composition, the fruits of ecotype No. 5 were distinguished by the content of extract, extract to acids ratio, sugar, dry matter, anthocyanins and vitamin C content. These fruits enjoyed 55% strong acceptability among adults. The indicated ecotypes can be used in breeding as well as in nursery for obtaining valuable varieties of cornelian cherry for production in Poland.

Terminalia Ferdinandiana

Kakadu plum (KP; Terminalia ferdinandiana Exell, Combretaceae) is an emergent indigenous fruit originating from Northern Australia, with valuable health and nutritional characteristics and properties (e.g., high levels of vitamin C and ellagic acid). In recent years, the utilization of handheld NIR instruments has allowed for the in situ quantification of a wide range of bioactive compounds in fruit and vegetables. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a handheld NIR spectrophotometer to measure vitamin C and ellagic acid in wild harvested KP fruit samples. Whole and pureed fruit samples were collected from two locations in the Kimberley region (Western Australia, Australia) and were analysed using both reference and NIR methods. The standard error in cross validation (SECV) and the residual predictive deviation (RPD) values were 1.81% dry matter (DM) with an RPD of 2.1, and 3.8 mg g−1 DM with an RPD of 1.9 for the prediction of vitamin C and ellagic acid, respectively, in whole KP fruit. The SECV and RPD values were 1.73% DM with an RPD of 2.2, and 5.6 mg g−1 DM with an RPD of 1.3 for the prediction of vitamin C and ellagic acid, respectively, in powdered KP samples. The results of this study demonstrated the ability of a handheld NIR instrument to predict vitamin C and ellagic acid in whole and pureed KP fruit samples. Although the RPD values obtained were not considered adequate to quantify these bioactive compounds (e.g., analytical quantification), this technique can be used as a rapid tool to screen vitamin C in KP fruit samples for high and low quality vitamin C.

This study reports on the arrangement of flower buds and structure of floral organs of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) cultivars local to Turkey. The local cultivars were investigated under stereo microscope, light microscope, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that each node has two oppositely positioned buds on 1-year-old shoot. Inflorescences resembled the umbel structure that enclosed four (two sets of oppositely oriented) bud scales. The mean flower number varied between 16.3 and 19.9 per cluster among the cultivars. The flowers resembled the hermaphrodite type and one flower was found to have four rudimentary sepals, four petals, four stamens, and one pistil. The stamens were noted to be arranged around the base of the ovary. Each normal anther was observed to have two pollen-producing theca, and each theca was found to have two locules. The number of pollen grains per anther varied between 1380 and 4240 among the genotypes. The pistil was noted to have a deeply hollowed papillate stigmatic surface, and the central part of the style had conducting tissue. The ovarium part of the pistil was found to be surrounded by the nectary tissue, inferior type, and had two atropous ovules. The fruit resembled single-seeded, stone fruit type. This study is the first detailed study on the flower morphology and inflorescences of the cornelian cherry cultivars in Turkey.

During 1982-88 the nutritional value of the main cattle forage plants in the terrestrial part of the eutrophic wetland, the Oostvaardersplassen (dominated by Phragmites australis and Cirsium arvense, with small amounts of Urtica dioica, Poa trivialis and Salix spp.) was studied. Cattle diets were dominated by grass in early summer and autumn, P. australis in July and Aug., and browse in winter. DOM content and the chemical composition of the forage classes grasses, reed, forbs and browse varied seasonally. The DOM content of all forage classes decreased from spring to winter. However, the assumed minimum energy content for cattle maintenance (about 450 g DOM/kg DM) was reached at different moments in the different forage classes. Reed reached it in autumn, grasses in winter, forbs (living parts) remained the entire year above this level and browse remained the entire year below this level. Grazing delayed the maturation of P. trivialis, P. australis and U. dioica. The protein, K, Ca, P, Cu content of the 4 forage classes exceeded the cattle maintenance levels for these nutrients the whole year. The Na and Mg content of grasses, reed and browse were marginal in some periods of the year. Due to their high mineral contents, the forbs were an important mineral source in cattle diets. When compared with data from oligotrophic and mesotrophic habitats, the Poa-Phragmites eutrophic habitat offered comparable feed quality in spring, summer and autumn, but was inferior in winter.
