Cornelian Cherry (Cornus Mas L.) Berries: Methods of Bioactive Potential Preserving
It is known that cornelian cherry is among the best natural remedies for the human body. For those who do not have access the berries when they are harvested, they can turn to cornelian cherry only as dried fruit. The dried cornelian cherry can be found in the stalls or in stores with organic products. In this sense, the aim of the current research is study how different methods of preserving cornelian cherry berries influence on their bioactive potential in terms of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The paper presents the effect of drying and freezing on the bioactive potential of cornelian cherry berries.
