Three red currant cultivars (Heinemanns Rote Spatlese, Rondom, Red Versailles) were assayed for pomological and antioxidant properties during the period of 2004-2006. It was found out that cv Rondom was superior with regard to physical properties of bunch and fruit, whereas cv Heinemanns Rote Spatlese expressed significantly lower values of these traits. However, the best chemical fruit composition was obtained by cv Heinemanns Rote Spatlese. Regarding the content of some individual phenolic compounds as well as the total phenolics, great variability was observed among the studied cultivars. Total phenolics expressed the highest value in cv Heinemanns Rote Spatlese and consequently the highest level of antioxidant capacity was recorded in this cultivar. The significant linear correlation observed between total phenolics and antioxidant capacity in cvs Heinemanns Rote Spatlese and Rondom indicates that phenolic compounds had significant contribution in expressed antioxidant activities. No significant correlation was only observed in cv Red Versailles, which points to the fact that some another compounds might contribution to an overall antioxidant capacity.
