Table 2.
IC50 values of the hydrosols of Salvia officinalis (SO) and Mentha rotundifolia (MR) in comparison with ascorbic acid in DPPH and Trolox in ABTS assays.
| Hydrosols | DPPH | ABTS+ |
|---|---|---|
| IC50 (μg/mL) | ||
| MR hydrosol | 95.54 ± 1.91ab | 101.097 ± 2.04ab |
| SO hydrosol | 87.194 ± 2.72a | 82.315 ± 0.22a |
| Ascorbic acid | 1.93 ± 1.47 | - |
| Trolox | - | 5.21 ± 0.64 |
Values are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate readings (n = 3). The results are considered significantly different for p ≤ 0.05. a in comparison with the standard, b in comparison with SO hydrosol.
