Both the rowanberries (Sorbus) and the chokeberries (Aronia) belong to the family Rosaceae. The berries of these cultivars are suitable for production of health-food products. The main components in the dry matter of fruits are carbohydrates, primarily sugars. The aim of this experiment was to determine the content of simple sugars and sorbitol in different fresh rowanberry cultivars and chokeberries and to compare the composition of these compounds after freezing and thawing of berries. The experiments were done in the Customs laboratory of the National Customs Board, State Revenue Service (Latvia). The rowanberries were picked in the Pure Horticultural Research centre, and black chokeberries were obtained from farm 'Ceplīši' (rural municipality of Pure). The contents of dry matter and soluble solids were analyzed in fresh berries, and the contents of sugars and sorbitol were analyzed both in fresh berries and in berries after freezing and thawing of 13 different cultivars of rowanberries and one black chokeberry. For determination of the soluble solids content, the refractometric method was used, and for determination of the glucose, fructose, sucrose and sorbitol content, high performance liquid chromatography was used. The results showed that rowanberries and chokeberries contained 3.24-7.24 g 100 gE-1 of sorbitol which was the dominant compound in all investigated berries. The highest content of sorbitol was found in the wild rowanberries and rowanberries Sorbus aucuparia var. sibirica, but fruits of rowanberry×pear 'Alaya Krupnaya' contained the least content of sorbitol. After freezing and thawing of berries, the content of sugars and sorbitol were decreased by 5-23% with some exclusion.
