Adding black grape and sour cherry fruit syrups into Turkish delight (lokum) could make the product healthier. While the highest antioxidant activity (AA) was found in the products produced with black grape syrup (BGS) and sour cherry fruit syrup (SCS), the lowest AA was obtained from the control sample. The AA values of Turkish delight produced with BGS and SCS increased with the increased fruit concentration. Turkish delight produced with SCS had about twice as much AA than that produced with BGS. The sensory panelists’ scores showed that all the treatments were acceptable in terms of appearance, color, and aroma, but the products produced with were evaluated as the best. In terms of overall acceptability, the and fruit concentrate Turkish delight samples produced approximately the same results. Key words: Turkish delight, sour cherry, black grape, antioxidant, total phenolics 1. Introduction Turkish delight (lokum) is a sugar-based jelly-like confection containing a starch gel. The history of it dates back more than 300 years, making it one of the oldest sweets in the world (Doğan, 2008). Turkish legend has it that in his endeavors to cope with all his mistresses, the Turkish sultan Abdul Hamid I summoned all his .
