Berry fruits are the species which are demanded by consumers and utilized in various ways. Turkey is within the natural range of these species and we can see different types of one or more species in almost all regions. Economic analyses indicate that berry fruits are among the agricultural products with the highest yield from unit area. They are also more advantageous than many fruit species in terms of short-term fructification and quick delivery of maximum yield (El, 2008). Due to the diversification of fresh or frozen use of berry fruits in the food industry and especially the increase in its importance for dairy products industry, ice cream producers, confectionery and pastry producers; these fruits are processed regularly in the food sector as fresh, mashed, jam, molasses, syrup or fruit juice (Yetgin, 2009; Okatan, 2018). Blackberry from Rosaceae family of Rosales group, Rosaideae sub-family, Rubus genus and Eubautus sub-genus is a fruit type with rich vitamin and mineral content, again with rich antioxidant capacity, which has gained a special importance in recent years (Karakoç, 2011) (see Fig. 1). Recent reseaches have shown that blackberries contain the chemicals with antioxidant and anticancer properties, which is of great importance in terms of human health, at a higher rate than the quantities mentioned in the literature. Although blackberries contain less amount of A, B, C vitamins, it has been found that they have protective traits against colon cancer and heart diseases due to their high fiber content. It has been observed that berry fruits consist high rates of ellagic acid and anti-cancer features which inhibit tumour development in animals under laboratory conditions (Pehluvan and Güleryüz, 2004). In adition, both fruits and leaves of blackberries, which have antiviral characteristics, prevent Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria (Yig˘it and Yig˘it, 2014). Depending on the concentration, the blackberry extract destroys the virus population by up to 99%, resulting in its high use in the treatment of intra oral wounds since the 16th century (Danaher et al, 2011). These fruit species have a large market share in the world as they are widely consumed, particularly in countries with high income levels. However, in Turkey, only wild types of them are consumed and their culture types are not well-known until recent years (Onur, 2006). While cultivation and breeding of this species began a long time ago in other countries, the importance of these species has just recently been realized.
