Abstract

Fruits and vegetables are a valuable source of biologically active substances (vitamins, mineral salts, P-active substances, fiber, pectin and other vital ingredients). Currently, a huge number of varieties with a set of economically valuable features have been created for industrial and amateur gardening. A modern consumer shows an increased interest in the quality of products, including the abundance of biochemical composition, therapeutic and preventive properties. In the middle of the twentieth century, a new direction of “medical gardening” was established in horticulture, which underwent both rapid development and decline. Currently, medical horticulture in Russia is developing efficiently. The paper identifies crops which fruits have high antioxidant activity. The following varieties with an increased content of biologically active substances are recommended for planting in a medical garden in the Central Chernozem Region: Fragaria × ananassa – Privlekatelnaya, Urogaynaya CGL, Fireworks, Rubus idaeus L. – Balsam, Heracles, Eurasia, Zolotaya Osen, Kokinskaya; Ribes nigrum – Nara, Odzhebin, Orlovskaya serenada, Selechinskaya, Exotica; Hippophae rhamnoides – Novost Altaya, Pride of CGL, Krasnoplodnaya, Kudyrga, Shcherbinka; Sorbus aucuparia L. – Angri, Alaya krupnaya, Sorbinka, Burka, Moravskaya; Viburnum opulus L. – Akkord, Zagadka, Zorina, Luch, Elexir; Lonicera edulis L. – Berel, Galochka, Kamchadalka, Pushkinskaya; Vaccinium corymbosum – Gerbert, Kovill.
