Data: means ± SD (). Results are expressed in mg GAE/100 g FW (TPC), μmol/100 g FW (anthocyanins), and mmol TE/100 g FW (ORAC). FW: fresh weight; anthocyanins: sum of cya-3-glc, pel-3-glc, and pel-3-rut (expressed as pel-3-glc); TP-NP: non-copigmented thermally processed; TP-CP: copigmented thermally processed; HPP-NP: non-copigmented high-pressure processed; HPP-CP: copigmented high pressure processed; TPC: total phenolic content. Different letters within a group in a column indicate a significant difference (), the groups being unprocessed samples, processed Camarosa samples together with unprocessed Camarosa, processed Rubygem samples with unprocessed Rubygem, and processed Festival samples with unprocessed Festival.
