Values are mean ± SD in triplicate determinations. Different letters in superscript represent significant () difference among selected fruit varieties. TPC: total phenolic content measured as mg/g of dry plant material, as compared to gallic acid equivalent. TFC: total flavonoids content measured as mg/g of dry plant material, as compared to catechin equivalent. IC50: DPPH radical scavenging activity in terms of IC50.
