Sugar Addition Boosts Antioxidants in Blackberries, Enhancing Health Benefits 🍇
Adding sugar, especially glucose, to blackberries during frozen storage helps retain important compounds like anthocyanins and phenols. Glucose was found to have the most positive effect on preserving these compounds compared to sucrose. This means that using glucose in fruit preserves instead of some sucrose can help keep more beneficial compounds in the fruit, making the product more effective against oxidative stress in the body.
