Table 6.

Concentrations of polyphenols released upon in vitro digestion of apple sample (flesh, peel, and whole fruit). Polyphenols were detected by HRMS-Orbitrap and values are expressed in μg/g (dw). Each value represents the mean ± SD of three replicates. For each line, different letters indicate significantly different values (p < 0.05) according to Tukey’s test. NF: not found.
