Here, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 indicate a moderate, strong and extremely strong positive correlation, respectively. Where DPPH assay = 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay, TAC = total antioxidant capacity, FRPC = ferric-reducing power capacity and MTT assay = 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay.
