Fruit from Granny Smith, Fyriki, Fu

Fruit from Granny Smith, Fyriki, Fuji Kiku 8, and Imperial Double Red Delicious apple (Malus domestica
Borkh.) trees planted in single or double rows, were harvested from different positions in the canopy, dur-
ing the last month before commercial harvest. Fruit physico-chemical and antioxidant capacity, using the
radical DPPH, were measured, in skin and flesh tissue. Greater total phenol content and total antioxidant
capacity per fresh weight and serving portion of skin and flesh tissue, were found in Imperial Double Red
Delicious and Fyriki apples, compared to Granny Smith and Fuji Kiku 8. The variation among cultivars in
antioxidant contents was greater in peeled, compared with unpeeled fruit, highlighting the importance of
eating unpeeled fruit. During the last two weeks before commercial harvest the total phenol content and
