title: [The phenolics of fruits. VI. The phenolics of currants, gooseberries and blueberries. Changes in phenolic acids and catechins during development of black currants (author's transl)].
abstract: Black, red, and white currants, gooseberries and cultivated blueberries contained only small amounts of catechins (total up to 30 mg per kg). Hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, especially of caffeic and p-coumaric acid, occured mostly in higher concentrations. Furthermore, 4-hydroxygenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid and gallic acid were found after hydrolysis in currants and only protocatechuic acid in gooseberries in different levels. Salicyclic and gentisic acid were found in traces up to 2 mg per kg, occassionally vanillic acid, syringic acid or isoferulic acid. The concentrations of the examined phenolic acids in black currants related to the whole fruit (mg per fruit) increased, and related to fresh weight (mg per 1000 g) decreased during the growth of the fruits with the exception of protocatechuic acid, which appeared mostly in a last stage of the fruit.
