Phytochemicals are non-nutritive, naturally occurring, and bio- logically active compounds found in the plant kingdom. Non-specific methods such as determination of total phenolics and anthocyanins by pH differential and specific methods such as high performance liquid chromatography. They are nutritionally equivalent to fresh fruits in smaller serving sizes, ranging from 30 to 43 g depending on the fruit, in current dietary recommendation in different countries. Recently, much interest in the health benefits of dried fruits has led to many in vitro and in vivo (animal and human intervention) studies as well as the identification and quantification of various groups of phytochemicals. This review discusses phytochemical compositions, antioxidant efficacies, and potential health benefits of eight traditional dried fruits such as apples, apricots, dates, figs, peaches, pears, prunes, and raisins, together with dried cranberries. Fruits constitute a major part of the human diet.
