a DPPH—scavenging capacity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical; ABTS—scavenging capacity against 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation radical; FRAP—ferric reducing antioxidant power; and ORAC—oxygen radical absorbance capacity. Averages ± standard deviation (S.D.) were obtained from five different experiments. Values with different letters (a–q) indicate statistically significant differences among groups at p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA.
