In each column, values with different letters are statistically different (P ≤ 0.05).
TAC: total antioxidant activity (μg ISE mg−1), TRP: total reducing power (μg AAE mg−1), FRSA: free radical scavenging activity (% of DPPH inhibition), TPC: total polyphenol content (μg GAE mg−1), and TFC: total flavonoid content (μg QE mg−1).
