Assays | A. mellea | M. procera | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
A. | DPPH radical-scavenging activity | MA | 1.06 ± 0.12 * | 1.19 ± 0.05 ns |
PT | 1.32 ± 0.09 * | 1.31 ± 0.05 ns | ||
B. | β-carotene/linoleate assay | MA | 0.43 ± 0.01 *** | 0.16 ± 0.03 ** |
PT | 0.53 ± 0.01 *** | 0.09 ± 0.02 ** | ||
C. | Ferricyanide/Prussian blue assay | MA | 0.52 ± 0.02 *** | 0.96 ± 0.01 *** |
PT | 0.62 ± 0.01 *** | 1.11 ± 0.02 *** |
The results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). ns p > 0.05; * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, and *** p ≤ 0.001 indicate significant differences between samples from MA and PT.
