Influence of altitudes and development stages on the chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of Andean blackberries (Rubus glaucus Benth)
The results suggest that higher altitude environmental conditions may improve the composition, concentration of phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity of Andean blackberries. Overall, our findings highlight the high functional value of this fruit, supporting its health-protective effects when consumed regularly, either as fresh fruit or in nutraceutical form.
