Fresh-frozen European guelder berry (Viburnum opulus L.) fruits collected in the Tambov, Moscow, and Tver Provinces were studied. The total contents and profiles of biologically active substances (BAS) in European guelder berry fruits were studied, including anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavonones, diydroxycinnamic acids, iridoids, organic acids, and carbohydrates; antiradical activity in the in vitro DPPH test was also studied. These data on specific minor BAS can be used for standardization in assessments of the potential activity of drugs and biologically active food additives based on European guelder berry fruits.
