Fruits and vegetables are a major source of antioxidants. The aim of current research was to study and compare the antiradical activity, the total polyphenol content (TPC) and the total flavonoid content (TFC) in dried carrots (Daucus carota), pumpkins (Cucurbita maxima), leeks (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum) and black radish (Raphamussativus) using a traditional convective drier and a microwave-vacuum drier. For each vegetable steaming as pre-treatment was used. Vegetables were harvested in Latvia in 2012, gathered when ripe and then dried. Analyses were made in Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Food Technology laboratories. The total polyphenol content was determined by the Folin- Ciocalteu method and the total flavonoid content - using spectrophotometric method. The antiradical activity was analyzed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The results of experiments demonstrate that the total amount of polyphenols ranged from 98.97 to 623.70 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) 100 gE-1 in dry weight and the total amount of flavonoids ranged from 40.32 to 100.23 mg catechin equivalent (CE) 100 gE-1 in dry weight. The value of DPPH antiradical activity for vegetable samples ranged from 6.10 to 45.14 percents.
