Table 1.

Quantifications of polyphenols (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC) contents, antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP and ABTS∙+ methods) from hydroethanolic pollen extract collected by Scaptotrigona affinis postica (TbHPE).

Sample TPC (%) * TFC (%) ** DPPHIC50 (μg/mL) FRAP (mmol Fe2+/g) ABTS•+ IC50 (μg/mL)
TbHPE 9.30 ± 0.56 0.40 ± 0.04 273.08 ± 1.43 b 0.71 ± 0.04 b 87.29 ± 0.06 b
Trolox - - 3.08 ± 0.57 a 8.87 ± 0.35 a 3.67 ± 0.78 a

Values expressed by the mean of triplicate measurements ± standard deviation. When in same column, different letters (a and b) indicates a significant difference (Tukey, p < 0.05). (*) expressed as gallic acid equivalent; (**) expressed as quercetin equivalent. DPPH, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical; FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power; ABTS•+, 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzotiazoline-6-sulfonic acid. (-) unrealized.
