Table 5.
Total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity (DPPH• scavenging assay, antiradical capacity determination with ABTS+•, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay) and efficiency of extraction (EE) (g of dry extract obtained from 1 g raw material) in different mistletoe extracts. Values are presented in mean ± standard deviation (n = 9) and evaluated by one-way ANOVA test (post test: Duncan test). Different superscript letters (a–g) in the same rows denotes significant differences at p < 0.05.
