Berry fruits are rich in polyphenolic content and are reported to
have interspecies and intraspecies variations. A high phenolic content
is reported in wild blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) cultivars (up to
600 mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g FW), compared to cultivated
blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) with a content of up to
310 mg of GAE/100 g FW (Giovanelli & Buratti, 2009). Within a cultivar,
strawberry seeds are reported to contain approximately 13.6%
higher levels of phenolics and 1.24% higher levels of anthocyanin
when compared to the strawberry flesh
