Data is the mean ± SD of three determinations; identical letters in the same column indicate no significant difference according to Duncan multiple comparison tests at p < 0.05. ∗Values of phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity refer to Syabana et al. [16] and Yuliana et al. [17].
