    (2009) Mupure, Chipo H; Burton, Stephanie Gail
    Thus, this study focused on the determination of antioxidant activity and the extraction of phenolic antioxidants from fruit processing wastewaters obtained from fruit processors in the Western Cape region of South Africa, using various extraction techniques. The chemical analysis of the fruit processing wastewaters showed that the silage water SW had the highest concentration of total phenols of 399.52 mgIL gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and apple wastewater AWl had the lowest concentration of 7.61 mg/L GAE. The fruit processing wastewaters also contained sugars and complex carbohydrates.
