Abstract: | The changes in total phenol content and antioxidant capacity were monitored in six industrial dark fruit juices during 29-day refrigerated storage. The initial total phenol values ranged from 1302.1 mg/L GAE (strawberry) to 1919.8 mg/L GAE (black currant) with a mean of 1573.3 mg/L GAE. All juices exhibited fluctuations in TP values with a marked increase after 48 hours in refrigerated storage, and a greater overall TP content in 5/6 studied juices after 29 days. Antioxidant capacity was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging assay and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and expressed as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Black currant juice exhibited the highest TEAC values according to both CV (2.42 mM Trolox) and the DPPH assay (5.68 mM Trolox), while cranberry juice antioxidants exhibited the greatest storage stability and the smallest antioxidant capacity decrease on day 29, 20% (CV) and 15% (DPPH assay). At the end of 29-day storage 5/6 juices exhibited a significant loss in antiradical activity and all 6 juices exhibited a significant loss in TEAC derived from CV measurements. Significant linear correlation was observed between the results of CV measurements and the DPPH antiradical activity (r2 = 0.62). |
