The work deals with the chemical analysis of juices selected varieties of black currant (Ribes nigrum L.). The theoretical part is divided into three main chapters. In the first chapter there are short botanical characteristics of black currants, content of biologically active substances in fruit and utilization of black currant fruit in food industry. In the second chapter there are characteristics, importance and methods of determination of phenolic compounds. Vitamin C is describe in the last chapter, its characteristics, importance and methods of determination. Experimental part describes determination of three chemical characteristic of black currant fruits: content of total phenolic compounds, content of total anthocyanins and content of vitamin C. Twelve modern varieties of black currant were selected for determination. Based on these results, it is possible to deduce the more important varieties. The content of total phenolic compounds was in the range of 326,7–641,4 mg•100 g-1 in all samples. The content of total anthocyanins was analysed in the range from 102,5 to 284,5 mg•100 g-1 in all samples. And content of vitamin C was in the range from 82,0 to 379,1 mg•100 g-1 in all samples. The overall comparison of the varieties of black currant was found, the varieties Ceres, Ben Hope, Ben Lomond, Démon and Ometa are the most promising varieties in terms of the content of the above mentioned compounds.
