Process | Total polyphenols (mg Chlorogenic ac. g−1 DM) | ORAC (μmol TROLOX g−1 DM) | Lipid peroxidation Inhibition (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 7.5 ± 0.3a | 1.34 ± 0.04a | 97.7 ± 4.8a |
Ultrasound | 6.6 ± 0.3b | 1.33 ± 0.04a | 99.0 ± 1.1a |
Steam | 7.4 ± 0.2a | 1.33 ± 0.03a | 97.0 ± 2.8a |
Steam + Ultrasound | 7.8 ± 0.5a | 1.32 ± 0.04a | 98.8 ± 2.6a |
Mean ± standard deviation followed by different superscript letter in the same column indicate that values are significantly different (p < 0.05.) by Tukey's test.
