Abstract

In recent years less known fruits such as rose hips increased popularity among consumers due to its higher human health compounds and unique aroma properties. In literature mostly results about rose hips obtained from well-known Rosa species, Rosa canina and Rosa dumalis and report about Rosa villosa is very limited. Thus, this study is aimed to assess some important morphological and biochemical characteristics of thirteen Rosa villosa L. genotypes collected from Gumushane province, located in Northeastern Anatolia region of Turkey and compared with R. canina, R. dumalis and R. pimpinellifolia. Results showed that there were statistically important differences among R. villosa genotypes and also differences between R. villosa and the other Rosa species on most of the morphological and biochemical characteristics. Fruit weight insignificantly differed among genotypes but significantly differed among species. There were statistically significant differences in harvest dates, fruit flesh ratio, total phenolic, total anthocyanin, ascorbic acid and organic acids, specific sugars and antioxidant activity between R. villosa genotypes and also Rosa species. Fruit weight was found between 1.04–1.19 g and harvest dates ranged from 24 August and 18 September among R. villosa genotypes. Fruit flesh ratio varied from 75.15 to 84.22%. Vitamin C, total phenolic and total anthocyanin content of the R. villosa genotypes ranged from 288–391 mg per 100 g fresh weight, 682–827 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per 100 g fresh weight and 2.12–2.84 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent per 100 g fresh fruit, respectively. Antioxidant activity was between 34.11–40.07 mmol Trolox equivalents (TE) per g fresh weight.
