Act: actoside Verbascoside; IsoAct: isoacteoside; ChA: chlorogenic acid; CA: caffeic acid; SAL: salidroside; C: catechin; CAF: caffeine; EGCG: (−)-Epigallocatechin gallate; EC: L-Epicatechin; ECG: (−)-Epicatechin gallate; EGC: (−)-Epigallocatechin; GA: gallic acid; GC: (−)-gallocatechin; GCG: (−)-Gallocatechin gallate. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 3). nd: Not detected.

EC50: concentration of antioxidant for 50% of maximum effect. The concentration was showed in μg for the final reaction volume (250 μL). *Value and **Value was significantly different from that after simulated digestion at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively.
