The ascorbic acid levels ranged from 52.41 (blackberry) to
92.17 mg/100 g f.w. (red raspberry). Ramful, Tarnus, Aruoma,
Bourdan, and Bahorun (2011) classified fruits into three categories
according to the ascorbic acid content: low (50 mg/100 g). According to this
classification, all fruits analyzed qualify as fruits with high ascorbic
acid content because all berries fruits analyzed exhibited ascorbicacid contents well above the ranges found in the literature
(Table 4).
