Table 5.

Antioxidant capacity of seaweed ethanolic extracts as determined by DPPH and ORAC.

Sample DPPH (%) ORAC (μmol TE/100 g)
E. denticulatum 7.99 ± 0.5a 112,762 ± 8,575a
S. polycystum 20.36 ± 0.7b 42,060 ± 5,153b
C. lentillifera 5.74 ± 0.9a 68,372 ± 1,596c

DPPH expressed as a percentage of radical scavenging activity, and ORAC expressed in μmol trolox equivalent per 100 g. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error mean (SEM) (n = 3). Different letters (a-c) denote a significant difference between mean values within the same column.
