The present study was performed to evaluate the polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of apples (cv. `Golden Delicious') grown under defined organic and conventional conditions. Apples were harvested at five comparable commercial farms over the course of three years (2004−2006). In 2005 and 2006 the antioxidant capacity was 15% higher (p < 0.05) in organically produced apples than in conventionally produced fruits. In 2005 significantly higher polyphenol concentrations were found in the organically grown apples. In 2004 and 2006 no significant differences were observed (2004, 304 ± 68 μg/g organic vs 284 ± 69 μg/g conventional, p = 0.18; 2005, 302 ± 58 μg/g organic vs 253 ± 41 μg/g conventional, p = 0.002; 2006, 402 ± 100 μg/g organic vs 365 ± 58... |

The present study was performed to evaluate the concentrations of phytochemicals (carotenoids and phenolic acids) in wheat varieties grown under comparable organic and conventional conditions over three years as part of a long-term field trial. Phenolic acids of the hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxycinnamic acid group were quantified by HPLC-DAD after extraction as free, soluble conjugated, and bound forms. Furthermore, the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin were determined by HPLC-DAD. There were no statistically significant differences between the two farming systems (sum of carotenoids (microg/g) for 2003, 0.91 +/- 0.55 organic vs 0.96 +/- 0.34 conventional; for 2005, 1.61 +/- 0.22 organic vs 1.33 +/- 0.19 conventional; for 2006, 0.87 +/- 0.33 organic vs... |
