This shrub or small tree is indigenous to Western and Central Asia, as well as North Africa and Europe. Elder grows in deciduous forests, hedgerows, on the edges of woods and on the shores of rivers and lakes. Individuals can attain a height of 15 m and have opposite, pinnate leaves with an odd number of leaflets. The main suppliers of elder are Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Poland. Anklam Extrakt works together with suppliers in Poland who collect the flowers in remote, clean and unspoiled areas. Experienced collectors gather the flowers at just the right time to capture their optimum flavour. The large cymose inflorescences of spicy smelling white blossoms can be found flowering from May to June. Bunches of shiny purplish-black to black berries develop in the late summer. These berries are botanically classified as drupes. Fresh and frozen flowers are an emerging market, while the extraction industry focuses on dried flowers. Extracts from berries are derived from fruit concentrate. Use as a food Extract qualities The pleasantly fragrant elder blossoms and the fleshy, deep red elderberries have historically been used in a wide range of food products because of their positive organoleptic properties and high vitamin C content. Produced using water as the extraction solvent: Elder blossoms are used to make refreshing beverages in the early summer months, e.g. elderflower wine. Apart from this, the flowers are frequently used in herbal tea mixtures. Sambucyanin, the major flavonoid in elderberries, breaks down when the berries are boiled. Thus, the berries can be used for juices, syrups, jams and jellies, as well as in liqueurs and in mixtures with other fruits.

The strongly fragrant elderflowers contain approx 0.1 % volatile substances in the form of essential oils and 1–2 % flavonoid glycosides, predominantly consisting of rutin and isoquercetin. There are records describing the use of elder for treating feverish colds, bronchial problems, gout, rheumatism, high blood sugar level, neuralgia, headaches and inflammations. Elder blossoms are used to make herbal teas – frequently in combination with lime blossoms – to induce sweating and treat colds. There are also reports of elderberry juice being used to treat feverish illnesses, inflammations and to prevent arteriosclerosis. Other constituents include approx. 3 % phenolic carboxylic acids, as well as chlorogenic acid, tanning agents, triterpenic acid and fibres. The 8–9 % mineral content is largely comprised of potassium. Fresh elderberries are also rich in vitamins and minerals. Apart from ubiquitous plant constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, fibre and fruit acids, ripe elderberries are characterized by a high concentration of anthocyanins, which gives the berries their intensive red colouring.
