Vitamin C and polyphenol content as well as total antioxidative activity were investigated in fresh leaves of kale; in leaves after blanching or cooking; and in frozen and canned leaves. In 100 g fresh matter, kale leaves contained 384.9 mg polyphenols and 112.1 mg vitamin C, with a Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) level of 1175 μM Trolox. Of the polyphenols identified in kale leaves, ferulic acid occurred in the highest amount (240.44 mg/100 g, constituting 62% of total polyphenols). Freezing was a better method of preserving kale leaves since the loss of nutritive constituents was lower than in the case of canning. Depending on preliminary processing and storage temperature, after one-year storage frozen leaves contained 82.9–171.3 mg polyphenols and 39.3–65.4 mg vitamin C, with TEAC at the level of 501–681 μM Trolox in 100 g. In canned leaves these values were: 91.3–94.1 mg polyphenols, 16.1–19.3 mg vitamin C and 268–293 μM Trolox.
► In 100 g fresh matter, kale leaves contained 384.9 mg polyphenols and 112.1 mg vitamin C, with a TEAC level of 1175 μM Trolox.
► Frozen products retained 22–45% polyphenols, 35–58% vitamin C and 43–56% of the initial TEAC level.
► Canned products retained 24%, 14–17% and 23–25% respectively.
► Frozen products from blanched raw material contained the highest amounts of total polyphenols, vitamin C and TEAC.
