THE CONTENT OF VITAMIN C AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN LESS-KNOWN TYPES OF FRUIT

This study aims to determine the vitamin C content and antioxidant activity in different types of fruit: cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.), service tree (Sorbus domestica), medlar (Mespilus germanica pawpaw (Asimina triloba persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.).
