Antioxidant activity of methanol extract from Russula alatoreticula

Antioxidant assays	Methanol extract	Standard
EC₅₀ (µg/ml)
Scavenging ability of superoxide radical	1940 ± 263^a	34 ± 1^b
Scavenging activity of DPPH radical	1083 ± 23^a	4.3 ± 0.3^b
Chelating ability of ferrous ion	263 ± 9^a	2.54 ± 0.59^b
Reducing power	2382 ± 23^a	14.5 ± 5^b
Total antioxidant capacity (µg ascorbic acid equivalent/mg of extract)	0.62 ± 0.03	NA

Ascorbic acid was used for comparison in all assays except chelating ability of ferrous ion method where EDTA was adopted as a positive control. In each row, different letters mean significant differences between sample and standard (P < 0.05)
