B > Cu > Mo, respectively. The order of macro- and micronutrient concentrations in V.oxycoccos was N > K > Ca = S > Mg > P and Mn > Fe > Zn > B > Cu > Mo.In general, the fruit mineral nutrient concentrations found in the studied species in Latvia weresimilar or considerably higher (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Cu) than values reported for the Americancranberry (USDA, 2008). Reported mean values for Fe content (0.25 mg·100g -1 fresh fruit) in V.macrocarpon fruits (USDA, 2008) were almost twice lower than our Fe results for Americancranberries. To the author’s knowledge, there is little comparable data in the literature which showthe detailed mineral content of V. oxycoccus. However the macronutrient content in wildcranberries analyzed was lower (except Ca), but Mn concentrations significantly higher than thereported values for V. oxycoccos in Finland (Ekholm et. al., 2007)The nutritional significance of fruits as a dietary source of minerals is related to the contributionthey make to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). The present study shows that fruits ofboth V. macrocarpon and V. oxycoccus are a ood sources of Mn (9.26 % and 120.96 % of therecommended daily dose, accordingly) in human nutrition. The content of Fe, Cu, Mo, and B in100 g of fresh fruits of both cranberries studied also contributes from 4.46 % to 8.89 % of the dailymicronutrient requirement.All macronutrients, except K, in both species of cranberries were stated in relatively lowconcentrations. Only K in V. oxycoccus berries was found in appreciable amounts (3.28 % of theRDA). One hundred grams of fresh wild and cultivated cranberries may supply also a few percentof the RDA for P, Ca, Mg, S and Zn. The availability of Ca in the body to great extent depends onthe calcium to phosphorous ratio. The recommended optimal Ca : P ratio in the diets is 1.0 to 1.3(Calvo & Park, 1996). In our study such a Ca : P ratio was characteristic only for Americancranberries.ConclusionsThe present study revealed significant differences in the mineral composition of V. oxycoccus andV. macrocarpon. Cultivated cranberry fruits had higher content of P and Fe while wild cranberrieshad higher levels of Ca, Mg Mn, Zn, Cu and B. Plant leaf analysis revealed organ-specificdistribution of mineral elements in both species of studied cranberries.The present study shows that fruits of both V. macrocarpon and V. oxycoccus are a valuable sourceof microelements: Fe, Cu, Mo, B and especially Mn, in human nutrition.References1.

Box 3000, FIN-90014 Oulu, Finland.AbstractThe bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), also called European blueberry, is one of the most significantwild berries in the Nordic countries. The berries are recognized for their bioactive properties anddistinctive aroma and flavour. The effects of climate on the production and the quality of bilberrieshave been studied in a controlled experiment in a phytotrone using clonal material. In theexperiment individual plants from two Northern clones and two Southern clones of bilberry weregrown at 12° and 18 °C. At each temperature 2 different light treatments were tested; 1) 24 hour (h)natural light (long day) and 2) 12 h natural light (short day). All plants were kept outside duringflowering to ensure pollination by insects. Berries were sampled when ripe, weighed and stored at -80°C for later analysis.KopsavilkumsMellenes (Vaccinium myrtillus), sauktas arī Eiropas mellenes, ir Ĝoti nozīmīgas savvaĜas ogasZiemeĜu valstīs.
