Antioxidant phytochemical differences among cultivars and changes after storage have not been explored in primocane raspberries grown in a hot, dry climate. It was hypothesized that significant differences would be detected in total phenolics and antioxidant capacity [oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)] between cultivars and over time. ‘Autumn Bliss’ had the highest ORAC and phenolic content, whereas ‘Caroline’ had the lowest ORAC and phenolic content when fresh. Averaging all cultivars and pickings, refrigerated berries had a significantly higher total phenolic content than fresh or frozen berries, although some moisture loss occurred during standard refrigeration. Antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of primocane raspberries grown in hot, dry conditions vary between cultivars, on average do not change significantly after storage, are higher later in the season, and are higher than supermarket cultivars.
