* and ** Correlation is significant at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 level, respectively. TPC = Total phenolic content; TFC = Total flavonoid content; HT = Hydrolyzed tannins; CT = Condensed tannins; DPPH = 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl; ABTS+ = 2,2-azinobis-(3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate); FRAP = Ferric reducing antioxidant power.
