Total phenolic content and the antioxidative activity (DPPH radical-scavenging capacity) of 29 fruits and vegetables were determined. The total phenolic contents of plum (1.06 mg GAE/g fresh weight) and cherry (0.95 mg GAE/g fresh weight) were high, whereas those of banana, carrot, and cucumber (each at 0.07 mg GAE/g fresh weight) were low. In the DPPH radical-scavenging assay, apple mango extract showed the highest value(92.8%) among the 29 ethanol extracts tested, followed by paprika (75.4%), beet (75.3%), and cherry (75.1%). In the inhibition assay, cherry (34.95% inhibition) and grape (31.03%) showed the highest activities among the 29 fruits and vegetables examined.
