Sažetak
Wild growing fruits traditionally make a certain part of population diet in the Republic of Croatia. These fruits were found to be a rich source of bioactive compounds with considerable dieto-therapeutic impact on human health. During the winter wild fruits is used as processing (dried or preserved with sugar). Otherwise those used to be eaten fresh during ripening. The most important species of wild growing fruits suitable for utilization belong to several genera: Rubus, Prunus, Fragaria, Castanea, Vaccinium, Sambucus, Rosa and others. Almost all species of mentioned genera are potentially interesting for use in breeding programs with the goal of improvement of nutritious and sensory properties (aroma and flavour) of fruits varieties – their cultivated relatives. This research includes survey of the most important wild growing fruit species in Croatia. Also, chemical parameters (dry matter, vitamin C, anthocyanins, and phenolic compounds content), of fruits quality are presented. It was found out that wild growing fruits have a considerable higher content of the measured chemical parameters by comparison with related, but cultivated fruit species. All of these facts indicate that wild growing fruit species, used in diet since ancient times, will have greater significance in a future scientific research.
