Antioxidant activities of EAF from lotus leaves

Assays	EAF	Ascorbic acid
DPPH (IC50, μg/mL)1)	4.46±0.01a	3.04±0.01b
ABTS+ (IC50, μg/mL)	5.35±0.02a	3.45±0.01b
Reducing power (A700)2)	0.224±0.003a	0.218±0.001b

^a,bDifferent letters indicated a significant difference at the same assay (P<0.05).

¹⁾The IC⁵⁰ value was defined as the concentration required to scavenge 50% of DPPH or ABTS⁺ radical.

²⁾Reducing power was evaluated at 100 μg/mL.
