Today, sea buckthorn -is a species that is once again in the circle of scientific research (Ulf & Bartish, 2008;Chen et al., 2014;Hakeem et al., 2018). In particular, in the branch of ecology, breeding and genetics, food and processing industry, medicine. Its fruits, leaves and the bark of shoots as a valuable vitamins and energy, adaptogenic product in the market of many countries of the world, is very popular and the purchase price, which determines the laying of industrial plantations (Pantielieieva, 2006;Skalski et al., 2018;. The most common fruit processing products are sea buckthorn oil, cider, wine, jelly, sauces, jams, marmalade, juices -not replaceable components of healthy eating (Litovchenko & Kuznetsov, 2019;Tkachenko et al., 2019). It's worth noting that plantations of sea buckthorn play an important role as forest ameliorants, protecting the soil from wind and water erosion (Bobyliov et al., 2014;Grynyk et al., 2018). But interest to H. rhamnoides in Ukraine is low, because above 90 % all its plantations are concentrated in the area of fallow lands, forest strips and natural tracts (coastal area at the mouth of the Danube), remainder -partly in private households and in private industrial gardens (Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Volyn, Ternopil, Poltava and other regions) (Moskalets et al., 2019 C). In 'State register of plant varieties suitable for dissemination in Ukraine' as of December 2019 sea buckthorn included eight varieties (Grynyk et al., 2018; State register of plant …, 2019), which opens up opportunities for its industrial cultivation and providing food, processing and pharmaceutical industry raw materials. Considerable environmental flexibility of sea buckthorn allows its to be introduced in different soil and climatic conditions, but performance adaptation highlights some of the environmental niches inherent in its, where the most complete productive biological potential is revealed in time (Pantielieieva, 2006;Sheng et al., 2006). In connection with global climate change the selection of genetic diversity is needed Н. rhamnoides L. as high and as a narrow ecological plasticity to environmental conditions, that will help more successful address introductions new genotypes. In this regard, breeding work with formation of new ecological-adaptive, high-yielding genotypes of sea buckthorn with high economically valuable properties of berries is relevant. The purpose of our research was to conduct an expedition monitoring natural, semi-natural and anthropic coenopopulations of sea buckthorn by ontogenetic and morphological features and pick perspective forms by economically valuable features for further selection, including by quality of berries for processing and targeted use of raw materials. The research tasks were: -to conduct an expedition monitoring natural, semi-natural and anthropic coenopopulations of sea buckthorn different ecotopes of Ukraine; -to investigate ontogenetic and morphological features of plants; to rank the studied genotypes of Н. rhamnoides by ecotypes (рolissia, forest-steppe) and subecotypes; -determine the organoleptic, biochemical, technological indicators of berries; -to carry out selection of perspective forms of sea buckthorn by basic economic and valuable features for further selection and find out the suitability berries raw materials for target production products of functional purpose. The objects of our research were genotypes, clones, varieties and populations of sea buckthorn of natural, semi-natural and anthropic ecosystems, berries and products of their processing.

Materials and Methods
The study was conducted 2015-2019 in the condition of Polissia, Forest-Steppe of Ukraine (Figure 1), which differed in weather and climatic conditions. In particular, on the value of the average temperature for the year (7.  С -in the central part of the Forest-Steppe; 7.4-8.6 °С in the Western Forest-Steppe); by the value of positive air temperatures > 5°С (2910−3200 ºС -in Polissia; 2775-3080 °С in Polissia-Forest-Steppe; 2990-3410 °С -in the central part of the Forest-Steppe; 2925-3190 °С -in the Western Forest-Steppe), average rainfall per year (670-994 mm in Polissia; 550-700 mm -in Polissia-Forest-Steppe; 575-615 mm -in the central part of the Forest-Steppe; 572-769 mm in the Western Forest-Steppe), according to the GTC value and the duration of the growing season -average daily air temperatures 5°С and above (207)(208)(209)(210)(211)(212)(213)(214)(215)(216)(217)(218)(200)(201)(202)(203)(204)(205)(206)(207)(208)(209)(210)(209)(210)(211)(212)(213)(214)(215)(216)(217)(218)(219)(220)(221)(222)(223)(224)(225)(226)(227) days -in the Western Forest-Steppe, 207-227 days -in the central part of the Forest-Steppe). The research conditions were different by the mechanical and physico-chemical composition of the soil (sod-mid-podzolic with such agrochemical characteristic: рН -4.3-5.6; easily hydrolyzed nitrogen -8-97 mg/kg, Р2О5 (by Chirikov) -19-53 mg/kg, К2О (by Chirikov) -46-102 mg/kg in soil; humus -1.2-1.8 % (by Tiurin) -in Polissia. In Polissia-Forest-Steppe -chernozem is a deep low humus leached loam; рН -4.0-5.5; easily hydrolyzed nitrogen -71-119 mg/kg, Р2О5 -84-109 mg/kg, К2О -33-75 mg/kg in soil; humus -2.5-3.2 %. In the central part of the Forest-Steppe -the soil is dark gray podzolic: easily hydrolyzed nitrogen -53-89 mg/kg, Р2О5 -117-153 mg/kg, К2О -76-111 mg/kg in soil; in the Western Forest-Steppe -light gray forest sandy large dusty Clones of sea buckthorn plants laid in the base nursery-garden of the Institute of Horticulture NААS (soil dark gray podzolic, content of total humus 2.3 %, рН -5.9; easily hydrolyzed nitrogen -89 mg/kg, Р2О5 -153 mg/kg, К2О -111 mg/kg in soil). Care of the experimental plants was carried out by applying common agricultural measures. Protection measures from pests and pathogens were not conducted. Phenological observations in plant growth and development, and biometric indicators (weight of berries, its number on II-III year shoots, etc.) determined by methods of the State commission of Ukraine for testing and protection of plant varieties. The berries were harvested by hand, performance accounting -weighted method. All biometric indicators of the plants carried out in the middle part of the crown on the south side. Annual shoots measured from their base and the beginning of a typical spine on top of the shoot. The berryful two-year branches were measured from their base and to the branch point the highest upper one-year shoot. The degree number of spines of plants was scored on a 5-point scale. The ecomorphic characterization of plants was carried out by A. Bеlgard (1971) andV. Tarasov (2005). Phenological observations marked from the third growing year after planting and noted the date of onset of such phenophases: the beginning of flowering buds; the beginning and duration of flowering; occurrence of technical maturity of berries. Based on the data of occur technical maturity the varieties share on: very early, early, medium maturity, late, very late maturity. The growth force is determined visually, watching the shoots continue the skeletal branches ІІ and ІІІ levels on scale: 3 -weak growth of young plants in Forest-Steppe -less 50 and 45 сm, in Polissia -less 40 сm, fruit-bearing plants in all zones -less 25 сm; 5 -average growth of young plants in Forest-Steppe -40-60 cm, in Polissia -30-40 сm; fruiting plants in Forest-Steppe -25-45 cm, in Polissia -25-35 сm; 7 -strong growth of young plants in Forest-Steppe -above 60 cm, in Polissia -40 сm; fruit-bearing plants respectively -above 35 сm. The shape of the crown is distinguished by the following basic types: rounded, pyramidal, wide, cone-shaped. The density of the crown is determined visually: not dense, moderately dense, dense and very dense. Productivity of sea buckthorn plants was determined by the formula: Y = A * B * C * N * L, where Y -the weight of berries one plant; A -medium weight of berries, g; B -medium number of berries per inflorescence, pcs.; C -medium number of inflorescences with berries on 10 cm long second year shoot (take into account 10 shoots that vary in length); N -total number shoots berries from a plant (take into account at the beginning of the growing season), pcs.; L -medium length of shoots berries (take into account at the beginning of the growing season), cm. Differentiated berries by size, depending on the weight of 100 pieces: little -50 g, middle -50-70 g, big -80-100 g, very bigmore 100 g. Tasting evaluation of berries was performed according to organoleptic parameters on a set of taste (appearance, 752 consistence, taste and aroma of berries. Was adopted 9-point scale: 9 -berries above excellent quality, 8 -berries of excellent quality, 7 -berries above good quality, 6 -good quality berries, 5 -berries above satisfactory quality, 4 -berries of satisfactory quality, 3 -berries of poor quality, 2 -berries of very poor quality, 1 -the berries are completely unsuitable for consumption. The solids content was determined weighted method according to SSU 7804:2015 (2015); content of total sugarsphotocolorimetric method on the photocalorimeter KFK-3-01 -to SSU ISO 4954:2008; organic acids -by titration with 0.1 n NaOH in terms of malic acid -to SSU 4957:2008 (2009); vitamin С -to restore the Tillmans reagent, by extraction acid solution of sample berries followed by filtration of the resulting substrate titrometric method according to SSU 7803:2015 (2015); content of β-carotene -by paper chromatography with the follower photoelectrocolorimetry to SSU 4305:2004 (2005); content of polyphenolic compounds -using the Folin-Dennis reagent spectrophotometric method on the spectrophotometer Spekol 1500 at a wavelength of 270 nm with a photometric accuracy of 0.004 to SSU ISO 4373:2005Kucherenko, 2001); content of pectic substances -spectrophotometrically to SSU ISO 8069:2015. The suitability of sea buckthorn berries to freeze determined by loss of its weight during prolonged storage in the frozen state (180 days). Biochemical analyzes were performed in 4 th repetition in each variant of the experiment. For DNA extraction of plants sea buckthorn and for the construction of molecular genetic profile was used: lysis CTAB buffer from PVP (20 g/l CTAB, 1.4 М NaCl, 20 mМ EDTA, 100 mМTris-HCl рН 8.0, 20 g/l PVP, 40.5 mМ ascorbic acid, 4.0 mМ DIECA); mixture -chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (24:1); isopropanol; 70 % ethanol; TE buffer (10 mМTris-HCl, рН 8.0, 1 mМ EDTA). Total DNA from plant material was isolated by CTAB by the express method (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide). To determine the size of products used a molecular weight marker GeneRuler TM DNA LadderMix (ThermoScientific) (the size of the amplicons 1000, 500 b.p.). Electrophoresis time was chosen from 2 tо 4 hours. To get an image gels were used UV light source and camera 'Сanon'. The resulting image was processed using a graphical editor GIMP. Selection of DNA markers and primer design, characterization of their loci conducted by markers SSR primers (Garg et al., 2011). The differences between the values in the control and experimental groups determined using the ANOVA, where the differences considered significant at P < 0.05 (with Bonferroni correction). The results were defined as means ± standard error (x ± SE). The standard error of the mean (SDx) was calculated using analysis of variance subject to the Bessel's correction, because took a small sample (n ≤ 16).

Results and Discussion
As a result of the expeditionary studies during the 2015 -2019 in the conditions of Forest-Steppe and Polissia of Ukraine ( Figure  1), the selected source material of sea buckthorn of natural and semi-natural origin. Sea buckthorn is dioecious plant, meaning that the male and female flowers grow on different shrubs. The sex of seedlings can only be determined at the first flowering, which mostly occurs after 3-4 years. The male inflorescence is built up of four to six apetalous flowers, while the female inflorescence normally consists of only one apetalous flower and contains one ovary and one ovule. Fertilization occurs solely via wind pollination, which is why male plants need to be planted near the female plants to allow for fertilization and fruit production.
We found out that the genetic diversity of Н. rhamnoides selected in different growth conditions (forest strips, fallows, forest edges) has high morphological variability by habitus, crown shape; color and size of leaves, berry, shoot (Table 1). Table 1. Ecological features and morphological characteristics natural and cultural forms of sea buckthorn (♀ -female individual; ♂ -male individual; h -the height of middle age generative individuals. Ms -mesophytes; Ks -xerophytes; KsMsxeromesophytes; wfMsKs -widely ecological flexibility mesoxerophytes (mesophyte, withstand prolonged drought of soil and air in the extreme phases of ontogeny); MsHg -mesohygrophytes; ОlTr -oligotrophs; MsTr -mesotrophs; ОlMsTroligomesotrophs; MsМgTr -mesomegatrophs; Не -heliophytes; ScНе -scioheliophytes. '++' -strong, in the form of solid thickets; '+' -alone thickets; '-' -thickets absent.  It was found that the source material, selected in different ecological zones, differs in morphological features, and environmental specifics (relation to the level of soil moisture and humidity air, providing soil with nutrients, its рН, amount and mode of precipitation, lighting, positive and negative temperatures). This prompted them to be ranked by ecomorphic affiliation. Biotypes, that have been selected in natural and semi-natural places of growth appertain tо mesophytes (Ms), which have a limited ability to carry soil and atmospheric drought, in which the root system is well developed, ground part with copious leaf cover. Plants, selected from catchment areas, the lowlands of the Forest-Steppe, Polissia, which by morphological and physiological features characterized by weak drought and heat resistance (6 points Widely flexibility mesoxerophytes (wfMsKs) in fact are mesophytes, but have adapted to withstand prolonged drought of soil and air in the extreme phases of ontogeny, in particular, in the phase of berries filling and ripening, giving high stable impressions under these conditions. Among biotypes stands out a group of xeromesophytes (KsMs) -'Bilotserkivska osinnia', 'Sоlоdkа zhіnkка', given their relatively average requirement to soil and air moisture and resistance to moisture deficiency these biotypes can be attributed to separate central forest-steppe subecotype. It should be noted that this group of plants has a special breeding and economic value in terms of forming a consistently high yield in the face of global climate change, its aridization and displacement borders zoning of berries and fruit crops. We found that genotypes differ by trophic, allowing them to be attributed to individual ecotrophomorphs. Thus, plants of polissia ecotype (Form 5-17-144, 'Кulykivskyi'), pertain to oligomesotrophs (ОlMsTr), since they are relatively medium demanding to the soil fertility conditions. Polissiа-forest-steppe subecotype: , which by life form -are tree, and by biometric parameters, reach heights above 4.5 m is important because of the lack of root shoots, because intensive formation root overgrowth require additional measures for their destruction, which is undoubtedly in bush forms leads to death (through 6-7 years) of central plant. High growth is another adaptation feature sea buckthorn plants due to the height, increase the area of distribution of dust. However, bush shape forms ('Аboruhen 7-11', 'Аboruhen nosivskyi 2-11', 'Zapyliuvach Hachyka dublianskyi', 'Аdаm', 'Pollmix') have their advantages over the tree-like pollinators ones, namely high regenerative capacity of ground part, resistance to adverse abiotic environmental factors, high pollen viability. That is important in analytical and synthetic breeding in the creation of high pollen productivity male varieties of sea buckthorn. Among the studied plants should be noted the tree forms without spines, usage which as pollinators allows to get a little spines or without spines hybrid material, and also in industrial gardens reduce the number of male forms by 8-16 % per unit area at the expense smaller the area of supply, compared to the bush forms.
So, results of the study of natural, semi-natural populations of Н. rhamnoides in different physical-geographical zones of Ukraine (Polissia, Forest-Steppe) by morphological features, ontogenetic and ecological characteristic made it possible to assign them to specific climatic ecotype and subecotype -as separate groups cenopopulations, selected from a certain part of a separate area, formed under the influence of specific climatic, soil conditions. That's ranking of plants is important for using its in target synthetic breeding, obtaining a new hybrid material and its successful address (targeted) introduction. Considering that, the selected material of the sea buckthorn though different among themselves, we, after all, referred tо species H. rhamnoides subspecies rhamnoides and carpatica, which is clearly different from other subspecies (caucasica, fluviatilisvan, mongolica, sinensis, turkestanica, yunnanensis). Genetic and epigenetic differences between ecotypes and subsubtypes of Н. rhamnoides fixed and inherited from generation to generation, causing changes in the phenotype under the influence environmental factors, causing the emergence of new different biotypes, search and detection of which are important in analytical and synthetic selection. According to some scientists , plants of sea buckthorn inherent low environmental sustainability, in particular during the introduction in adverse soil and climatic conditions, in particular, heavy soils, in which plants are often affected pathogens and pests, they are exhausted and fall out. The most susceptible to the impact of adverse ecological factors -male pollinating plants.
And, most importantly, their underestimation leads to significant losses productivity of female plants in industrial conditions. PCR analysis by nucleic acid electrophoresis in agarose gel (Figure 2, 3) made it possible to explore the intraspecific difference of new forms, selected analytical way, compared to existing varieties and set the affinity range between them (Figure 4), and to detect genetic polymorphism investigated sea buckthorn geneplasm. As a result of using 5 DNA markers for molecular genetic characteristics sea buckthorn -the most polymorphic markers were HrMS025 аnd HrMS026, other markers also appear in all samples, but they are more monomorphic. Conducting electrophoresis in 2.5 % agarose gel (1×LB buffer + ethidium bromide) allowed to get еlectrophoregrams with a clear image of the fragments nucleotide sequences by 500, 1000 base pairs (Figure 3). Analysis of family relationships of the phylogenetic tree made possible to discover genetic identity such samples, which are   12,13,14,15,16,17,18,    Note: *P ˂ 0.05 compared to the control (standart); V -coefficient of variability; ** -defined in the technical maturity of berries.
Berries of the varieties 'Оliana', 'Nadiynа', 'Morkvianа', 'Оsoblyvа', 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Sribnolysta' and others contain the highest amount of total sugars compared to others -4.4-6.2 %, in accordance. But their content offsets the high content of titrated acids (more 3.0 %), defining, respectively, low sugar-acid index (SAІ) at the level 1.3-2.6 (table 3). Accumulation of high content of organic acids in berries, which have antioxidant properties, causes increase of resistance of plants to pathogens and pests, that also, extends technological capabilities obtaining regulatory safe organic raw materials for its multidisciplinary use.
Biochemical analysis showed that the berries of different ecological groups of Н. rhamnoides are different by the accumulation of ascorbic acid. Content of vitamin C varies from 40 tо 143 mg/kg. Should be noted, that varieties 'Hergo', 'Оliana', 'Nadiynа', 'Morkvianа' have its content in 2-3 times higher than others. Positive impact of vitamin С increases on the human body in the presence of polyphenolic compounds, which have P-vitamin activity. Analysis of content pectic substances showed that content in berries hydropectin of selected forms and varieties don't exceed 0.07 %, protopectin 0.66 % (table 2), which is insufficient to obtain gelling products from berries of the above forms without adding thickeners. Given the high biological value and the limited shelf life of the berries of sea buckthorn, freezing is a universal way of processing them. For this need to find out which varieties are most suitable for freezing. Frozen berries can be used as raw material for further processing, in particular for making juices, sauces, compotes, jams, low alcohol drinks, food powders etc.
Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, 9(4), 2019 Suitability of sea buckthorn fruits for freezing was determined by loss of its weight after long-term storage at minus 18 °С. The largest weight loss of the berries were in the varieties: 'Оsoblyvа', 'Аpеlsynоvа', 'Оliana' (4.2-6.8 %), and the smallest in 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Nadiynа', 'Mitsna' and others (1.9-2.8 %). Changes in the biochemical composition of berries studied varieties of sea buckthorn were observed by all features without exception. The smallest losses the total soluble solidst (0.7-1.1 %) аnd 760 total sugars (0.03-0.17 %), regarding its content in fresh, had defrosted berries of varieties 'Оsoblyvа', 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Nadiynа', 'Mitsna', 'Soniachne siayvo' and others. The smallest losses of titration organic acids аnd vitamin С marked in 'Оliana', Morkvianа', 'Mitsna', 'Karotynnа', 'Lymonnа'. SAІ of all defrosted berries decreased in 1.2-1.6 times and was within -0.6-2.2. Sea buckthorn berries are product of diet and medical nutrition. Its low in calories: 1 kg of berries contains 300 calories. The main direction use of sea buckthorn still remains beverage production and biologically active food additives (Litovchenko & Kuznetsov, 2019), despite the fact that these raw materials are promising for getting food concentrates functional purpose. Food products based on the berries of sea buckthorn possess good taste properties, nutritional and biological value. According to a comprehensive study of berries natural, semi-natural populations and varieties of sea buckthorn can conclude, that its berries have no dessert purpose, confirmation of which is high acid content, low sugar-acid index -1.1-1.4 (in berry and fruit crops for dessert purpose SAІ, usually ≥ 5.0) and as a result, a low tasting evaluation (2-3 points). Assessment of defrosted sea buckthorn berries by organoleptic parameters showed the mismatch of defrosted berries of varieties 'Оsoblyvа', 'Nоsіvshаnkа', 'Pamiatkа' requirements of the current standard SSU (SSU 4837:2007(SSU 4837: , 2007. So, 16-24 % berries of these varieties are deformed, what exceeds maximum permissible standards, specified in SSU 4837:2007 (2007). When for berries of other varieties ('Morkvianа', 'Karotynnа', 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Nadiynа' and others) the percentage of deformed berries is not more than 3, which is less than the norm (5 % for the first commodity variety), but berries of the varieties 'Оliana', 'Mitsna', 'Lymonnа' -don't suffer deformation ( Figure 5 a -i). Discolored and cracked defrosted berries we didn't find any of the samples tested. Foreign odors were also absent. High enough nutrient content (vitamins, trace elements, simple sugars, pectins, organic acids, essential oils) in berries of sea buckthorn allows to use its raw materials in the production of semi-finished products, including as fruit and berry fillers, thus, adjust the taste and smell of the product. One of the most evolving destinations the food industry today -production of functional products (smoothies, berries pastilles, dairy including enriched curd products) using sea buckthorn berries (Stobdan et al., 2017). Sea buckthorn is used as a multivitamin plant, can be used as a choleretic agent, hemopoiesis stimulator for anemia, a wound healing agent, activator of regenerative processes at malignant tumors as an antimicrobial agent, in the treatment of arthritis, at bleeding as an anti-radiation agent, at inflammatory processes of the oral cavity and other mucous membranes of the skin Stobdan et al., 2017).
Because berries of not all samples of Н. rhamnoides are suitable for processing in the frozen state, it was interesting to do research their chemical and technological properties and the suitability for making semi-finished products, namely blend puree for the preparation of pastilles, production of low alcohol beverages, etc. For blended puree used fruit and berry components, one of which was the berries of sea buckthorn, dried to a moisture content 12 %. The composition of the three parts of apple (variety 'Аntonivka') and one part of sea buckthorn variety 'Оsoblyvа' (c) gives to receive raw materials with low sugar content (their contents in the pastilles at the level 40-42 %) and as a result the low SAІ and tasting evaluation 3.5 point (with 5 the maximum possible). More successful, but not the best there was an option where to the apple and sea buckthorn puree plum puree of variety 'Stenley' was added. This semi-finished product had a high content, as titrated acids (19.3 %) and sugars (73.9 %), which provided higher tasting mark -4. The most successful blend for getting pasty it was puree, received with one part of sea buckthorn, one part of raspberry and two parts of apple puree. Exactly such a semi-finished product provided high rates the quality of the finished product (tasting evaluation 4.5 point and SAІ 5). This blended puree is the optimal ratio of sugars and titrated acids, creating a harmonious sour-sweet taste of the finished product -pastilles ( Figure 6 a -c). Therefore, for the manufacture of pastilles worth carrying out blending of sea buckthorn puree with berries puree other fruits and berries, what have content of sugars in more 7.0 % titrated acids and less 0.5 % Such can be berries of apple, pear, cherry, honeysuckle, the third component can be other stone fruits and berries, but in proportions that will provide SAІ no less 5 (Moskalets et al., 2019 C). The most suitable varieties for processing for juice products according to the obtained indicators are varieties 'Hergo', 'Оliana', 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Morkvianа', 'Karotynnа', 'Lymonnа' the yield of juice from berries of which is 62-78 %, total soluble solidst -11-12 %, sugars 8.2-9.4 g/dm 3 , at titrated acidity 35-37 g/dm 3 . Fruit and berry wines were prepared according to SSU (SSU 6036:2008(SSU 6036: , 2008 to the mass concentration of titrated acids in terms of malic acid 5-8 g/dm 3 depending on the type of wine. Under the direction of the professor О. М. Litovchenko developed recipes juice with high content of biologically active substances, resulting in defined best samples of sea buckthorn juice compositions ('Оsoblyvа', 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Karotynnа') with low acid (apple, birch, and pumpkin) juices. Technological process production of fruit and berry wines predicted grinding of raw materials, push-ups, infusion, fermentation and addition of honey or sugar. Of all berries samples tested natural and semi-natural genotypes of sea buckthorn marked varieties 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Оsoblyvа' and 'Karotynnа'. From which juices are obtained wine materials higher alcoholism 11.8-13.4 % vol. accordingly, lower sugar content 8.5-10.0 g/100 cm 3 (with tasting evaluation obtained wine materials 7-8 points), at a time when alcoholism of berries of other varieties was smaller 6 % vol., however, with a slightly higher content of residual sugars 11.0-12.0 g/100 cm 3 аnd with 5-6 points tasting evaluation. The best organoleptic characteristics and high evaluation characterized sea buckthorn wine material of the variety 'Оsoblyvа', with the gradual addition of sugar -8.0. The aroma of the drink is pure, pleasant, sea buckthorn; taste -smooth, nice harmonious. In second place from quality is the wine material of the berries of sea buckthorn 'Karotynnа' with the gradual addition of sugar and in the third place is the wine material of the variety 'Аdаptyvnа', made with the gradual addition of honey (tasting evaluation 8.0 points). Characteristics of the drink: color is light straw-golden; aroma -pure, with wine-sea buckthorn; taste -balanced, harmonious and pleasant. So, according to the results of determining the suitability of berries raw materials wild genotypes of buckthorn buckthorn in technologies of production of pastilles, juices and drinks selected varieties 'Аdаptyvnа', 'Оsoblyvа' and 'Karotynnа', which are 761 Morphological variability, biochemical parameters of berries Ukrainian Journal of Ecology,9(4), 2019 most suitable for the manufacture of products functional purpose, which is a prerequisite development projects competitive and energy-saving recipes, technological instructions for their production.
