Summary:In previous studies, a great variability in vitamin C content of rose hips was also found. [...]several research have pointed that the rose hips, from different agro-climatic regions of Turkey, are a rich source of AA and the content ranged from 106 to 2712 mg/100 g in (11). The difference in AA compositions of the fruits could be caused by the species, variety, ecological factors, and altitude. [...]the lowest content of AA was recorded in R. canina harvested from low altitude whereas the highest content was found in R nitidula collected from high altitude.
