a Total phenolic content (TPC), expressed in mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram of dry plant. b Total flavonoid content (TFC), expressed in mg of quercetin equivalents per gram of dry plant. c 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), as μmol of Trolox equivalent/g dry fruit, d ABTS as μmol of Trolox equivalent/g dry fruit. e Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), as μmol TE/g dry weight. f Superoxide anion scavenging activity (O2) expressed in %. All values were expressed as means ± SD (n = 3). The results are statistically compared with a positive control. The results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tuckey test statistical analysis (p-values < 0.05 were regarded as significant). Values in the same column marked with the same letter are not significantly different (at p < 0.05).
