Values are means ± standard deviation, n = 3; Mean values with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05; Values within a column with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05; bAmounts of anthocyanins, flavonols, ellagitannins, including ellagic acid derivatives, and hydroxycinnamic acids were converted into cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (anthocyanins), quercetin (flavonols), chlorogenic acid (hydroxycinnamic acids) and ellagic acid (ellagitannins and ellagic acid derivatives).
