Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) detection in positive and negative ion modes has been used to identify phenolic compounds in five red raspberry cultivars from Bulgaria. Photodiode-array detection (PDA) has been used to screen the main classes of phenolic compounds, such as ellagitannins, anthocyanins, flavonol glucosides, flavan-3-ols and phenolic acid glycosides. A total of 60 components were tentatively characterized. The anthocyanins were cyanidin and pelargonidin types, found predominantly as their glucosylrutinosides. The major flavonol glucosides were quercetin and kaempferol types found mainly as their rutinosides and glucuronides. Antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and total anthocyanin content were evaluated by FRAP assay, Folin-Ciocalteu method and pH-differential method respectively.
