Chemical properties (L-ascorbic acid and total sugars content, pH, titratable acidity, and dry solid content), phenolic compounds (total phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and flavan-3-ols) and antioxidant capacity were measured in ripe fruits of wild-growing strawberry, bilberry, and elderberry from eastern Serbia. All three selected fruits are rich sources of nutraceuticals: vitamin C, sugars, and different classes of phenolic compounds and their extracts expressed high antioxidant activity. Elderberry fruits possess highest concentration of all measured biomolecules.
