Table 2. Effect of extraction time on total phenolic content (in dry matter) of palm kernel cake and its antioxidant activity index at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 30:1.
t(extraction)/min | w(total phenolics as GAE)/(mg/g) | Antioxidant activity index |
---|---|---|
10 | (2.78±0.14)a | 1.29±0.06 |
20 | (5.19±0.02)b | 1.24±0.02 |
40 | (6.08±0.16)c | 0.86±0.16 |
Data are presented as mean value±standard deviation of three independent replicates (p<0.01, 95%). Values with different letter in superscript are significantly different (p<0.05 and p<0.01). GAE=gallic acid equivalent
