Four raisin (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties, Chriha, Razeki, Assli, and Meski, were evaluated for total phenolic content, total o-diphenol content, total flavonoid content, total condensed tannin, total carotenoid content, and total anthocyanin content. Antioxidant potential was assessed by three assays: 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl and 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid radical scavenging capacity and ferric reducing power. Individual phenolic profiles were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results revealed that the four raisin varieties had considerable phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Chriha had the highest total phenolic content (534.2 mg/g dry weight) while Meski had high total condensed tannin (208.6 mg CEQ/g dry weight), TAC (137 mg/100 g dry weight), total o-diphenol content (115.8 mg/g dry weight), total flavonoid content (93 mg CEQ/g dry weight), and total carotenoid content (33 mg/100 g dry weight). There were significant differences in phenolic content among the four varieties (p < 0.05). Meski had the highest 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl scavenging capacity, while Chriha had adequate reducing power and 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid scavenging capacity. The individual phenolic compounds (2.96–6.54 mg/g dry weight) were variety-dependent.
