Correlation coefficient (r) and probability (p) between the detected metabolites and both total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (ns = non significant).
Metabolites | Carbohydrates | Proteins | Saponins | Phenolics | Flavonoids | Anthocyanins |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) | 0.544 (p = 0.002) | 0.451 (p = 0.012) | 0.751 (p = 0.00) | ns | 0.394 (p = 0.031) | ns |
DPPH radical scavenging activity | ns | ns | 0.828 (p = 0.006) | ns | 0.716 (p = 0.030) | ns |
