Table 1. Total phenolic content and evaluation of the free radical scavenging activity of EE96 and eluates EL30–EL70.

Eluate Total phenolic content (g GAE/L) Free radical scavenging activity (g GAE/L)
EE96 1.99±0.01a 1.88±0.01a
EL30 0.26±0.01d 0.18±0.08d
EL40 0.39±0.01c 0.33±0.08c
EL50 0.26±0.01d 0.30±0.05c
EL60 0.82±0.01b 1.20±0.03b
EL70 0.83±0.02b 1.22±0.02b

Data are means ±S.D. (n = 3); values in the same column followed by the same letter (a-d) are not statistically different (P<0.05), as measured by Duncan’s test.

EE96, ethanolic extract of crude propolis extract prepared using SPE with 96% ethanol elution.

EL30-EL70, eluates of the crude propolis extract prepared using SPE with 30% to 70% ethanol elution.

GAE, gallic acid equivalent.
