Raw raspberry (<i>Rubus idaeus</i> L.) and β-CD-assisted dehydrated strawberry (<i>Fragaria</i> × <i>ananassa</i> Duch.) ethanolic extracts (RB and SB, respectively) were spectrophotometrically monitored in the presence of 1 mM 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) solution in the absence or presence of β-CD. Cyanidin 3-<i>O</i>-glucoside (Cy3G) was used as standard compound, being identified by RP-HPLC in both RB and SB at 14.62 and only 0.15 mg/100 g fresh weight (fw). Pelargonidin 3-<i>O</i>-glucoside (Plg3G) was the most concentrated anthocyanin in SB (estimated at 2.46 mg/100 g fw).
