RT, retention time. Peaks are numbered according to Figures 1(a) and 1(b). Compounds’ identity was confirmed by comparison with RT of standards and mass fragment profile and UV-Vis absorption spectra. Expressed as mean ± SD of mg/100 g of extract. Quantified as equivalent of epicatechin. Quantified as equivalent of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside. Compounds 1–3 and 4–7 were analyzed in positive mode; compound 4 was analyzed in negative mode.
