| Abstract: | Fruits provide abundant vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and natural antioxidants. Falsa (Grewia asiatica), a lesser‐known berry fruit, is gaining attention owing to its diverse bioactive compounds and potential health‐promoting properties. This study aimed to evaluate the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of processed products made from natural and organic Falsa. Natural Falsa fruit leather had the highest total polyphenolic content (6.04 ± 0.31 mg gallic acid equivalents [GAE]/g), followed by organic Falsa fruit leather (3.67 ± 0.13 mg GAE/g), with natural Falsa generally having a greater polyphenolic content. Antioxidant activity, assessed using 2,2 ′‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferrous ion chelating activity (FICA), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2 ′‐azinobis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and total antioxidant capacity assays, was strongest in natural Falsa fruit leather. Liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐ESI‐QTOF‐MS/MS) analysis enabled the tentative identification of 88 polyphenolic compounds across the analyzed samples. These compounds were classified into major groups, including phenolic acids (32), flavonoids (36), lignans (6), stilbenes (2), and other polyphenols (12). HPLC analysis demonstrated a greater concentration of epicatechin and p‐hydroxybenzoic acid in natural Falsa pulp compared to other Falsa products. In conclusion, our findings suggest that both fruit types (natural or organic) and the processing method have a significant impact on the polyphenolic composition and antioxidant activity of Falsa‐based products.
