This Diploma thesis deals with the production of the concentrate from the Elderberry marc extract (Sambucus nigra L.). The basic chemical characteristics in this concentrate were determined. The theoretical part of the thesis deal with the botanic characteristic of the Elderberry and its berries. The characteristic of the phenolic compounds, mainly anhocyanins was summarized. The use of the anthocyanin pigments in the food industry, the possibilities of their extraction and the concentrate production was discussed. Thereafter the methods of the anthocyanin content and the phenolic content determination were described. In the experimental part of study, the production of the anthocyanin rich extract from Elderberry marc was optimized. The extraction of the marc by the 1:1 ethanol/water (V/V) solvent with the ratio marc/solvent 1:2 (w/V) showed the most convenient. The production of the concentrate followed. During the concentration on the rotary evaporator the pigment degradation was investigated. The degradation decreased with the decrease of the temperature. The final concentrate was prepared from the extract on the rotary evaporator by 45 °C for 15 minutes. This product had the 7times lower volume compared to the initial extract. In the final concentrate come of the chemical characteristic were determined. By liquid chromatography (HPLC) the major pigments cyanidin-3-sambubiosid and cyanidin-3-glucosid were determined. Their total content was determined to 34,9 gl-1. The total anthocyanin content was determined by pH differential method to 7,1 gl-1 (expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent). The total phenolic content was determined to 27,1 gl-1 (expressed as gallic acid equivalent) by Folin-Ciocalteu method. By electron paramagnetic resonance the increase in antioxidant activity with the increase in concentration was found. Up to 42 aromatic compounds was determined in Elderberry marc, its extract and the final concentrate.
