The total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) in C. racemosa and C. lentillifera crude extracts.

Seaweed Species	Extract	TPC (mg GAE/g)	TFC (mg QE/g)
	Chloroform	13.41 ± 0.86 a	5.46 ± 0.41 a,c,e
C. racemosa	Methanol	10.33 ± 0.02 b	24.52 ± 2.17 b
	Water	1.74 ± 0.09 c	2.50 ± 0.10 a,c
	Chloroform	5.47 ± 0.75 d	0.28 ± 0.03 d
C. lentillifera	Methanol	4.52 ± 0.42 d	4.93 ± 0.27 a,e
	Water	2.04 ± 0.36 c	1.17 ± 0.03 f

Data are expressed as mean ± SE of triplicates in three separate independent experiments. TPC values are expressed as milligram gallic acid equivalent per gram (mg GAE/g). TFC values are expressed as milligram Quercetin equivalent per gram (mg QE/g). Means with different alphabet are significantly different at p < 0.05 (Tukey for TPC; Games–Howell for TFC).
