Antioxidant activity of Vitis vinifera, Punica granatum, Citrus aurantium and Opuntia ficus indica fruits cultivated in Algeria

Antioxidant activity of Vitis vinifera, Punica granatum, Citrus aurantium and Opuntia ficus indica fruits cultivated in Algeria

Four edible fruits from Vitis vinifera, Punica granatum, Citrus aurantium and Opuntia ficus indica from Algeria were analyzed in order to determine the total polyphenol, total flavonoid and flavonol contents using classical spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant activity was established by thre...
