In order to supply new information on the antioxidant function of selected fruits for nutritionists and thegeneral public, antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of 62 fruits were evaluated using ferricreducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assays as well asthe Folin–Ciocalteu method, respectively. The correlations between the FRAP value and the TEAC value aswell as total phenolic content were also assessed. The results showed that different fruits had diverseantioxidant capacities and the variation was very large, and seven fruits, Chinese date, pomegranate,guava, sweetsop, persimmon, Chinese wampee and plum, possessed the highest antioxidant capacitiesand total phenolic contents among tested fruits, and could be important dietary sources of natural anti-oxidants for prevention of diseases caused by oxidative stress
