Elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is a widespread species, its flowers and berries have been utilised as traditional medicine and a source of dietary supplements. The objective of this study was to compare five preparations (supplements and products of particular nutritional uses) for infants and young children (from 1+ to 6+ y) containing elderberry juice or extract. The levels total polyphenols (flavonoids, anthocyanins), vitamin C and sugars were determined. The UV-Vis spectral region 245–260 nm was used to determine vitamin C, and characteristic maximum at 520 nm to measure the content of anthocyanins. The highest content of polyphenols was found in sample number 1, containing elderberry juice, the samples 3, 4, and 5, contain elderberry extract with less polyphenols. The content of vitamin C is also higher in no. 1, its sources are fruit extracts (acerola, elderberry). The samples were analysed
for the content of carbohydrates, which can easily be added to the final products (i.e. syrups). Analysis of the data can be helpful for processing elderberry juices and extracts and natural vitamins with immune supporting properties for children.
