TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the antioxidant activity of 10 native Tuscan and international Vitis vinifera varieties extracted from the skin and seeds of 10 varieties of the plant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the biochemical properties of six apple varieties grown in the Casentino area (Tuscany, Italy) were evaluated using HPLC-UV analysis and two commercial varieties (Golden Delicious and Stark Delicious) and four local varieties (Mora, Nesta, Panaia-red and Ruggine) were selected and their methanolic extracts were analyzed for total phenolics and flavonoids.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of storage conditions on phenolics concentrations and on the antioxidant activity of apple juice and pomace was studied, and significant differences were recorded between the two apple varieties, the Panaia-red juice having a higher concentration of phenolic compounds and a higher antioxidant activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature and storage time on the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) juices made using a red (Sangiovese, SG) and a white (Muscat of Alexandria, MA) variety was studied.

TL;DR: These two ancient, late-bearing apple varieties demonstrate to be well adapted to the Mediterranean climate, in which they produce high-quality fruit with good organoleptic properties and high concentrations of desirable phytochemicals.
