The outreach activity took place at University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Medicine. It included: promotion of fruit and vegetable consumption for disease prevention, explanation on fruit and vegetable composition, especially of antioxidant properties of selected carotenoids and anthocyanins, simplified extraction of selected carotenoids and anthocyanins based on the modified method originally developed by Dr. Maria Rodrigo, Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology, Valencia, Spain that was disseminated through COST Eurocaroten and demonstration of ability to scavenge free radicals by antocyanins from red cabbage.
