Table 3. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of WB and DB.
Total phenolic content (mg of GAEs / g of extract) | DPPH (EC50μg/mL) | ABTS (EC50μg/mL) | |
---|---|---|---|
Ascorbic acid | - | 2.41 | 9.68 |
BHT | - | 6.30 | 22.37 |
Trolox | - | 3.88 | 16.63 |
WB | 47.89 ± 0.01 | 76.86 | 222.90 |
DB | 46.39 ± 0.01 | 73.28 | 469.60 |
DPPH and ABTS are expressed as half maximal effective concentrations (EC50); TPC results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3).
