Table 3.

Concentration of total and individual anthocyanins (listed in order of HPLC elution), and total tannin results from control-shaded clusters (naturally shaded, n = 3) and light-excluded clusters (light exclusion boxed, n = 3). Anthocyanins expressed in malvidin-glucoside equivalents (mg/100 g of berries). Tannins expressed in epicatechin equivalents (mg/100 g of berries). The significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) within the pair of samples was indicated as * for concentration (mg of/100 g of berries) and ** for proportion of the total. Values in italicized font are the proportion of the total anthocyanins. Values in parenthesis are standard deviations.
