Antioxidant potential of A. × cornutum and two varieties of A. cepa L. peel extracts determined by ORAC and DPPH method.
Antioxidant Assay | A. × cornutum | A. cepa (Yellow Variety) | A. cepa (Red Variety) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
ORAC (Trolox eq) | 20.5 ± 0.17 a | 12.98 ± 0.29 b | 4.64 ± 0.34 c | |
DPPH (% inhibition) | 82.18 ± 1.09 a | 65.76 ± 2.97 b | 53.43 ± 4.36 c |
Results are means ± SD (n = 3). Different superscript letters (a,b,c) indicate a statistically significant difference between three onion waste extracts (p < 0.05) (Data S2).
