Summary
Variation in the ascorbic acid content of berries was high. In blackcurrant measured
values varied 49−257 mg/100 mg. The highest values were obtained from the greenfruited
samples. Values for red and white currants ranged from 53 to 155 mg/100 mg
and for gooseberries from 66 to 156 mg/100 mg. This survey provides important
background information for use of genetic resources in future breeding programmes,
to select crossing parents for high ascorbic acid content.
