The Study of Composition and Content of Anthocyanins and Flavonoids of Fruits of the Sambucus Nigra L. (Sambucaceae Botsch ex Bork. Family)

It was investigated the quantitative content and qualitative composition of anthocyanins and
flavonoids of mature fruits of Sambucus nigra L. growing in Azerbaijan. It was established that the
content of anthocyanins varies from 3.12 to 4.02% depending on the site of occurrence, and flavonoids
vary from 108 to 186 mg%. It was found the presence of 3 derivatives of cyanidin - cyanidin-3,5-di-
glucoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-sambubioside of anthocyanins. In the flavonoid com-
position, 4 flavonoids were identified, of which 3 were isolated in an individual form and found
quercetin derivatives - quercetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside.
