Data (n = 3) are shown as mean value ± standard deviation (SD). Significant statistical differences (p < 0.05) are highlighted by different letters (a–d). Results are expressed as μg/g DW for carotenoids and mg/100 g DW for vitamin C. AG—Malus domestica Borkh., ‘Golden Delicious’; AC—Malus domestica Borkh., ‘Camela’; KH—Actinidia deliciosa (A.Chev.)
