Free radicals scavenging activity is expressed as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). All antioxidant activities are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). Means in the same column with different letters (a–e) are significantly different (p < 0.05). HMW, high-molecular-weight fraction; MMW, medium-molecular-weight fraction; LMW, low-molecular-weight fraction.
