"I have been doing research on the antiviral effects of black currants.  Evidently, a variety of black currants known as Kurokarin also has antiviral qualities.  Does anyone have or know the components of black currants varieties other than the Kurokarin variety?"
 
Tom,
Dr. Kim Hummer, research leader at the USDA-ARS Germplasm repository in Corvallis, OR, has done some work in the Russian far east with black currants, where Ribes nigrum is native.  She'd be a good source to decipher "Kurokarin" compared to other black currants.
