Blueberry (Vaccinium Corymbosum) is a good source of natural antioxidants. Blueberry also had the highest total phenolic content. A preliminary analysis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the blueberry samples tested contained of flavonols: rutin, anthocyanidins: malvidin-3-galactoside, malvidin-3-glucoside, and cyanidin). In particular, the blueberries had high levels of anthocyanidins and flavonols, which might be responsible for their strong antioxidant activities. These results indicate a potential market role for berries as a functional food ingredient or nutraceutical. The article describes the research results of Vaccinium Uliginosum phenolic compounds and pectins contents in fruits It is ascertained that qualitative characteristics of Vaccinium Uliginosum in fruits are much more than qualitative characteristics of berry.
