Abstract: Total phenolics and antioxidant activities of blueberry pomace extracts were studied in the present study. Water, 40% ethanol and cellulase-ultrasonic-assisted extraction were used to extract blueberry pomace in this study. Folin-Ciocalteu method was employed for total phenol contents determination. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of aqueous extracts, ethanol extracts and cellulase-ultrasonic-assisted extracts were determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and O2 free radical scavenging assay. Results showed that total phenolic content of cellulase-ultrasonic-assisted extracts (425.36±15.2 mg GAE·100 g-1 DW) was much higher than that of aqueous extracts (169.46±9.7 mg GAE·100 g-1 DW) and ethanol extracts (218.39±12.5 mg GAE·100 g-1 DW). The antioxidant activity of cellulase-ultrasonic-assisted extracts in the DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide radical scavenging assay were 2.67±0.13 g Vc·100 g-1 DW and 2.48±0.14 g Vc·100 g-1 DW, respectively. These values were much lower than those of the aqueous extracts and ethanol extracts.
