Sažetak
Rosa canina L., also called dog rose or rosehip, is a perennial shrub of the Rosaceae family. It is native to Europe, Central Asia, and parts of the North Africa (Jürgens et al., 2007). In its natural range, which includes Croatia, dog rose is a well-known plant species with a rich and documented historical background and a long tradition of use as an important food source and medicine. Consumption of wild R. canina fruits is common in many European countries and is considered a natural remedy in the treatment of colds, coughs, and flu, as well as gastrointestinal disorders (Sen et al., 1996). A variety of pharmacological and nutritional effects have been scientifically proven for rosehip and its products (Chrubasik et al., 2008 ; Fan et al., 2014), and associated with the specific chemical composition and characteristic phytochemicals such as phenolics, carotenoids, unsaturated fatty acids, and high concentrations of vitamins (especially vitamin C) (Winther et al., 2016). Previous studies have shown that bioactive compounds are prone to qualitative and quantitative variation depending on numerous factors, such as plant genotype, maturity stage, and the environmental conditions (Koczka et al., 2018 ; Yang et al., 2018). In Croatia, rosehip is a widespread plant species that occurs in all three geographical regions (continental, alpine and Mediterranean). Our aim was to investigate the diversity of R. canina populations sampled in different geographical regions, in terms of content of main phytochemicals (vitamin C, total polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids) and antioxidant capacity.
