Table 1.
Amounts of moisture (%), glucose, fructose, malic and citric acid (expressed as g/100 g FW), total phenolic compounds (TPC) (mg Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE)/100 g FW) and o-diphenolic compounds (ODC) (mg of chlorogenic acid /100 g FW) in different mulberry fruit varieties. Values represent the results of three determinations ± SD; means with different letters in the same column are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05) according to the multicomponent Duncan’s test.
