Accuracy and precision of the method were evalutated by calculating the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for the standards of quercetin 3-glucoside (LOD = 0.36 μg g−1 DW; LOQ = 1.07 μg g−1 DW), kaempferol 3-glucoside (LOD = 0.29 μg g−1 DW; LOQ = 0.87 μg g−1 DW) and isorhamnetin-3-glucoside (LOD = 0.40 μg g−11 DW; LOQ = 1.20 μg g−11). LODs were not necessary for catechin, chlorogenic acid and cyanidin-3-glucoside, being highly concentrated within peach skin. Reproducibility of the method was assessed by setting the relative standard deviation (RSD) below 5% and 25% for main and minor peaks, respectively. Accuracy was below 2% for all compounds detected.

Mean value (n = 3) ± standard error. For each metabolite values followed by different letters are significantly different according to one-way ANOVA (P ≤ 05) followed by Tukey's test.

a

Procyanidins quantified as catechin.

b

Hydroxycinnamic acids quantified as chlorogenic acid.

c

Flavonols quantified as quercetin-3-glucoside.

d

Kaempferol-3-glucoside.

e

Isorhamnetin-3-glucoside.

f

Anthocyanins quantified as cyanidin-3-glucoside.
