Antioxidant Capacity
Due to the high phytochemical content present in blueberry, several Due to the high phytochemical content present in blueberry, several studies about antioxidant capacity of this fruit began to be performed, Prior et studies about antioxidant capacity of this fruit began to be performed, Prior et al. [52] were one of the first authors in studying antioxidant capacity of al. [52] were one of the first authors in studying antioxidant capacity of blueberry
blueberry, , they they used used RabbiteyRabbiteye, e, Highbush, Highbush, Southern Southern Highbush Highbush and and LowbushLowbush blueberries from
blueberries from different different regions regions of of the the United United States States and and bilberrybilberry, , to to verifyverify how much phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, vitamin C, maturity degree and how much phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, vitamin C, maturity degree and variety of species influencing the antioxidant capacity of this fruit, and among variety of species influencing the antioxidant capacity of this fruit, and among their findings observed that blueberry, when compared with other fruits, had their findings observed that blueberry, when compared with other fruits, had the highest antioxidant capacity (when using the ORAC, oxygen radical the highest antioxidant capacity (when using the ORAC, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, method). However, they also observed that there was absorbance capacity, method). However, they also observed that there was much variation in antioxidant capacity due to the difference between blueberry much variation in antioxidant capacity due to the difference between blueberry species (13.9 to 45.9 µ
species (13.9 to 45.9 µ mol Trolox equivalenmol Trolox equivalents/g of fresh berry) and it is ts/g of fresh berry) and it is mainlymainly due to variations in anthocyanin content and other phenolic compounds in due to variations in anthocyanin content and other phenolic compounds in fruit. Prior et

[52] also reported that increased maturity at harvest increasedreported that increased maturity at harvest increased ORAC values because of an existing linear relationship between antioxidant ORAC values because of an existing linear relationship between antioxidant capacity and anthocyanins content (r

Through a HPLC-PDA online antioxidant detection system applied to Through a HPLC-PDA online antioxidant detection system applied to blueberry by
blueberry by Borges Borges et et al. al. [76], [76], these these authors authors found found that that by by presenting a presenting a lowlow vitamin C level, this compound does not contribute to the antioxidant capacity vitamin C level, this compound does not contribute to the antioxidant capacity of blueberry, which is primarily due to high amount of anthocyanins presents of blueberry, which is primarily due to high amount of anthocyanins presents

blueberry anthocyanianthocyanins, ns, these these authors authors found found that that the the main main responsiblresponsible e forfor antioxidant capacity was delphinidin 3-galactoside (20.4% ± 0.8%), cyanidin antioxidant capacity was delphinidin 3-galactoside (20.4% ± 0.8%), cyanidin 3-galactoside+delphinidin 3-arabinoside (15.4% ± 0.7%), petunidin 3- 3-galactoside+delphinidin 3-arabinoside (15.4% ± 0.7%), petunidin 3- galactoside (12.2% ± 0.7%) and malvidin 3-galactoside (11.7% ± 1.7%).

The The difference in difference in absorption between absorption between anthocyanthocyaninsanins and hydroxycinnamic acids probably contributed to the differences observed and hydroxycinnamic acids probably contributed to the differences observed in protection capacity of red blood cells.

Currently, there are several studies that evaluate antioxidant capacity of Currently, there are several studies that evaluate antioxidant capacity of blueberry and other
blueberry and other fruits. However, in fruits. However, in the last the last years, researches began to years, researches began to useuse different assays to measure antioxidant capacity in fruits and extracts, once it different assays to measure antioxidant capacity in fruits and extracts, once it varies according to the analytical method used due to the different antioxidant varies according to the analytical method used due to the different antioxidant mechanisms presented by different compounds, or even when the same mechanisms presented by different compounds, or even when the same mechanism is evaluated the antioxidant capacity may be different depending mechanism is evaluated the antioxidant capacity may be different depending on the free radical used.
