Effect of solvent-to-latex ratio on the DPPH scavenging capacity and TPC of ‘White Genoa’ latex extract obtained via maceration.
Latex-to-solvent ratio (w/v) | DPPH scavenging capacity (%) | TPC (μg GAE/mL) |
---|---|---|
1:1 | 65.76 ± 2.17b | 340.5 ± 13.30a |
1:5 | 74.48 ± 2.90a | 299.62 ± 8.69b |
1:10 | 66.21 ± 3.04b | 291.68 ± 10.22b |
1:15 | 51.57 ± 2.11c | 234.03 ± 6.91c |
Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three measurements. Different letters (a–d) for each column symbolise significant differences (p < 0.05) by means of Tukey’s HSD test.
