STUDY THREE — this study was designed to
compare the antioxidant content of
apples, peaches
and pears.
Specific antioxidants were also analysed; caffeic, p - coumaric
and ferulic acids
and the total radical - trapping antioxidative potential (TRAP) were significantly higher in

compared to vegetables
and strongest for berries,
