Figure 1 Phenolic compound evolution in the days after the full flower phase in B. buxifolia fruits. A, Expressed on the basis of fresh weight (mg·100 g−1 FW). B, Expressed on the basis of dry weight (mg·g−1 DW). C, Expressed on the basis of per unit fruit (mg·fruit−1). ANT, anthocyanin content; PHE, phenol content; FLA, flavonoid content; FFW, fresh fruit weight; DFW, dry fruit weight (n = 6). Error bars represent ± 1 standard error of the mean.
Table 1 Firmness (kgf), colour (%), soluble solids (°Brix), total titratable acidity (%) and soluble solids/total titratable acidity ratio in Berberis buxifolia fruits in the days after the full flower phase.
Table 2 Linear correlation coefficients (r) between pairs of variables.
Figure 2 Scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (%) on B. buxifolia fruit extracts from day 70 to day 126 after full flower phase and at different methanolic extract concentrations (0.0–1.0 mg·mL−1) (n = 6). Error bars represent ± 1 standard error of the mean.
Table 3 Concentration of methanolic extracts (mg·mL−1) at which the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals were scavenged by 50% (mg·mL−1) and the reducing power (mg·mL−1) was 50% in Berberis buxifolia fruits in the days after the full flower phase.
Figure 3 Reducing power (%) on B. buxifolia fruit extracts from day 70 to day 126 after full flower phase and at different methanolic extract concentrations (0.0–5.0 mg·mL−1) (n = 6). Error bars represent ± 1 standard error of the mean.
