Characterization of phytochemical quality (Total phenolic content—TPC and anthocyanin—AC) and antioxidant capacity (DPPH—2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and ferric-reducing power activity—FRAP) of the strawberry cultivars studied.

	cv. “Primoris”	cv. “Endurance”	cv. “Portola”
Phytochemical
Total phenolic content (mg gallic acid equivalent GAE/100 g)	942 ± 96 b	1314 ± 89 a	607 ± 28 c
Anthocyanin content (mg/100 g)	2.09 ± 0.01 b	2.41 ± 0.01 a	2.18 ± 0.02 b
Antioxidant Capacity
DPPH radical scavenging activity (RSA, %)	51.8 ± 5.1 a	51.1 ± 5.2 a	42.0 ± 2.3 a
FRAP (Eq mM FeSO4/100 g)	58.8 ± 0.9 b	72.4 ± 8.1 a	38.2 ± 1.4 c

Data are expressed as “mean ± standard deviation”. ^a,b,c In the same line, different letters indicate significant differences (Tukey test, P < 0.05) between strawberry cultivars.
