Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is a plant belonging to the Cornaceae family of Umbelliferae kind, falling its
leaves in winter, getting tall up to 7-8 m and being 2.5-4.5 cm the trunk diameter. Cornelian cherry which the
motherland is Anatolia, Caucasus and European have a wide spreading area in our country. It grows naturally in
single or several trees or in forest areas, usually on the edges of fields and gardens. The fruit which mature at the
end of the summer season may be red, dark red, pink or yellow depending on the its species. Cornelian cherry
juice is evaluated as jam, marmelade, syrup, jelly, compote, pulp, fruit juice, fresh and dried fruit. In cultivated
regions, fruit is used in folk medicine, skin diseases, metabolic disorders and diarrhea. In addition, it is utilized
from the antiseptic properties of flowers, leaves, seeds, shells and roots. In this study, some biochemical
characteristics of 9 Cornelian cherry genotypes cultivated in Malatya in Turkey were determined. It was used for
extraction the solvent mixture of methanol: water: HCI, and the phenolic compounds in the extracts were
determined on HPLC-DAD. The total anthocyanin in the fruit samples was within the range of 120.16 – 507.22
mg/L, total phenolic content 1710.57 – 7450.68 mg/L, gallic acid 168.32 – 574.15 mg/L, catechin 84.08 – 372.91
mg/L and routine 37.66 – 171.47 mg/L.
