Phenolic antioxidant profiles in the whole fruit, flesh and peel of apple cultivars grown in Lithuania

In this study total phenolic content (TPC), total ferric reducing antioxidant power, individual phenolics and their contributed antioxidant activity were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu, FRAP and HPLC-DAD coupled to FRAP post-column assays in the whole fruit, flesh and peel of six Lithuanian grown apple cultivars. The greatest TPC and total antioxidant activity were determined in ‘Aldas’ and ‘Auksis’ cultivars. Significant amounts of flavonols...
