Popis: The antioxidant properties of various kinds of the traditional Polish alcoholic beverage nalewka were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy. The antioxidant capacity was measured by EPR spectroscopy in μmol Trolox (TE) in a 100 mL nalewka sample. The total phenolic content was measured by Folin–Ciocalteu (FC) assays while aromatic proton content ( H ar ) was determined by NMR spectroscopy; subsequently the correlation among these values was explored. All of the investigated nalewkas exhibited antioxidant properties. The values of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC DPPH ) were in the range 45–1045 μmol TE/100 mL. It was found that the value of the TEAC DPPH corresponded to the TP ( r = 0.96) and H ar ( r = 0.95). Moreover, the TEAC DPPH values depended on the kinds of fruits used for nalewkas’ preparation.
