Table 2.

Phenolic compound concentrations within each cultivar (averaged from all time points) and quantified phenolic concentration (QPC). Cultivars are presented in the same order as in Figure 1 based on their level of flesh browning: minimal browning (first 4 cultivars), moderate browning (the portion of table shaded in gray), and severe browning (last 4 cultivars).

In each column, bold highlights the highest and lowest values in each column; LSD = least significant difference as determined by Tukey HSD at p < 0.05; Means with the different letters (on the right side of each value) within each column indicate significant differences at p < 0.05.
