Study of diversity of anthocyanin composition in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits
Qualitative and quantitative composition of anthocyanins in bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits was assayed. The aim of our study was to evaluate total anthocyanin content and their composition in bilberries collected from various regions and at different time. For the quantification of total a...
