For each location a random sample of 27 fruit of uniform size was used for juice extraction. At each sampling date, juice was obtained individually from nine healthy fruit (n = 9). Fruit were hand-peeled and the arils juiced using a LiquaFresh juice extractor (Mellerware,South Africa). All samples were centrifuged at 4000 × g for 10 minand the supernatants were filtered through a 0.45 m nylon mem-brane (Waters Corporation) filter before HPLC analysis. Phenolic compounds were measured in triplicate of juice and results were presented as mean ± SE.
