Özet

In this study we report on the content of organic acids, sugars and minerals in the pulps of the twelve cherry laurel accessions most commonly consumed in eastern Black Sea Region. Malic acid was the dominant organic acid ranged from 43.27 (CL6) to 54.23 (CL3) mg/100 g fresh weight basis. The dominant sugars were glucose and fructose in the pulps that ranged from 4.83 (CL1) to 5.74 (CL5) mg/100 g and 4.66 (CL3) to 5.53 (CL7) mg/100 g, respectively. The pulp of cherry laurel was shown to be rich in potassium (187-241 mg), phosphorus (26-45 mg), calcium (15-22 mg), magnesium (15-24 mg) and sodium (3.9-6.1 mg) in 100 g fruit pulp. The data may be useful in selecting wild edible fruit species appropriate for incorporation into diets.
