ABTS scavenging assay | 0.06 ± 0.02 b | 0.25 ± 0.01 d | 0.18 ± 0.00 c | 0.04 ± 0.01 a |
β-carotene | 0.59 ± 0.00 c | 0.65 ± 0.05 d | 0.28 ± 0.09 b | 0.15 ± 0.00 a |
Results of the ANOVA test are significantly different at p < 0.05, and each data point is represented by the average of three repetitions ± SD of one independent experiment. IC50: half maximal inhibitory concentration. Values with different superscripts within the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05).
