Antioxidants occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables as well as beverages such as tea and coffee, and the health benefits of many of these foods has been attributed to their antioxidant content. Antioxidants are also used in the food industry as natural colorants and, most recently, in “smart packaging” which can be used to monitor food freshness. Antioxidant activity of mulberry juice was analyzed using several standard assays including radical scavenging activity (DPPH), reducing power, total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity. This activity was correlated with HPLC-MS/MS data with special focus on identifying minor constituents since it has been suggested that the most abundant antioxidants are not necessarily the most biologically active.
