A. princeps | Seomae mugwort | |
---|---|---|
Total phenolic content (mg/100 g of dried sample)(b) | 49.12 ± 1.23b | 74.53 ± 2.08a |
IC50 in DPPH radical scavenging (mg)(c) | 0.82 ± 0.12a | 0.55 ± 0.09b |
Vitamin C content (mg/100 g of dried sample)(d) | 100.6 ± 2.2b | 209.1 ± 3.2a |
(a)Data represents the mean ± SD (n = 3). Different superscript letters indicate statistical significance of the differences between Seomae mugwort and A. princeps groups, tested by Student's t-test using the SAS. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. (b)The total phenolic contents of samples were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent as described in the Materials and Methods. (c)The IC50 values of A. princeps and Seomae mugwort were calculated and compared using a typical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. (d)The vitamin C was analyzed using the HPLC as described in the Materials and Methods.
