The content of some important phenolic compounds (kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, and ellagic acid), total phenolics (TPH), vitamin C, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the fruit of three black current cultivars (Ben Lomond, Ben Sarek, and Malling Juel) were studied. In conclusion: Black currents are a significant source of phenolic compounds and vitamin C. Examined phenolic compounds were detected and differences in phenolic profiles were also observed among the cultivars used in this study. Antioxidant capacity, as an important fruit quality parameter, varied greatly among the cultivars and was highly correlated with total phenolics in cv. Ben Lomond. The present study indicates that cv. Malling Juel is an extremely rich source of vitamin C, demonstrating its contribution to the measured overall antioxidant capacity. Overall, the data obtained suggest that cvs. Ben Lomond and Malling Juel clearly hold high position among the studied black current cultivars and could be considered as a good source of natural antioxidants.
