Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) represent a rich source of phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins, both in quantity and diversity of chemical composition. The aim of this study was to investigate Vaccinium myrtillus extracts obtained by SPE extraction. The extracts were prepared in water/methanol and water/ethanol mixtures, acidified with 0.1% HCl. The samples were analyzed by LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry) in order to determine anthocyaninic content of the bilberries fruits. By this method as significant variation in cyanidin, peonidin and petunidin content was determined.
