Effects of Different Ripening Stages on the Content of the Mineral Elements and Vitamin C of the Fruit Extracts of Species: and .

Studies on the mineral and vitamin C contents of different species and ripening stages of fruits are very limited. The aim of the research was to evaluate the content of the mineral elements and vitamin C of four different species (SM, SN, SV SR), and three ripening stages. The mineral composition of fruits was detected using a CEM MARS 6 (Matthews, NC, USA) digestion system outfitted with a 100 mL Teflon vessel, by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE).

Changes in Pomological and Physical Parameters in Rosehips during Ripening.

Rosehips of various spp. are well known for having human health-promoting compounds like mineral nutrients, vitamins, fatty acids, and phenolic compounds. However, little is known about rosehip characteristics which describe the fruit quality and may indicate appropriate harvest times.

Changes in Fatty Acids Content in Organic Rosehip ( spp.) Seeds during Ripening.

Studies on the determination of the optimal harvest time of rosehips are very limited. Therefore, the aim of this research was to ascertain the effect of the ripening stage on the quality and content of fatty acids of organic rosehip seeds. A two-factor field experiment with two rosehip species and cultivars (, , and cv.
