In this study, phenolic compounds in fresh fruits ( Physalis alkegengi, Lycium barbarum, Prunus divaricata, Sambucus ebulus, Rubus sanctus, Berberis crataeginea ) were determined by HPLC. The highest content of phenolic compounds was found in Berberis crataeginea , varied from 1.67 mg/kg (trans-cinnamic acid) to 228.32 mg/kg (rutin trihydrate), while Physalis alkegengi contains the minimum amount of phenolic compounds, ranged from 0.100 mg/kg ( p -coumaric acid) to 23.78 mg/kg ((+)-catechin). 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (+)-catechin, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene and gallic acid were the predominant phenolic compounds of Physalis alkegengi, Lycium barbarum, Prunus divaricata, Sambucus ebulus, Rubus sanctus, , respectively. All fruits contained minor amounts of isorhamnetin, kaempferol, naringenin, trans-cinnamicacid, resveratrol and p -coumaric acid.
