It should be highlighted that, from the 11th week of storage at 20 °C in darkness, the CAE + AA juices showed a higher antioxidant capacity than AA juice. Therefore given the low anthocyanin content of CAE + AA juices respect to CAE juices, the higher antioxidant capacity of CAE + AA juice respect to AA juice should be due to a higher concentration of ascorbic acid in this last one. This could be due to the degradation of the anthocyanin preventing the oxidation of ascorbic acid ( García-Viguera and Bridle, 1999 and Pang et al., 2001), according to one of the three mechanisms described previously.
