Three methods for estimating the total phenolic content in juice samples were evaluated.
The evaluation was carried out using 22 phenolic compounds and 64 other analytes.
The Ce(IV)-rhodamine 6G (R6G) chemiluminescence (CL) method was found be very selective.
The acidic permanganate CL method showed strong CL for certain analytes.
The acidic permanganate CL method showed higher sensitivity toward phenolic acids.
