Total phenolic, flavonoid and chlorophyll contents in the aerial parts of cauliflower expressed as mean ± SD (n = 9).
| Florets | Leaves | Stems | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPC (mg GAE/g DM) | 2.76 ± 0.34 b | 4.40 ± 0.22 a | 2.65 ± 0.52 b |
| TFC (mg RUT/g DM) | 0.29 ± 0.02 b | 0.64 ± 0.06 a | 0.22 ± 0.02 b |
| CHa (μg/g DM) | 0.38 ± 0.10 b | 14.08 ± 0.63 a | 0.34 ± 0.09 b |
| CHb (μg/g DM) | 0.66 ± 0.10 b | 8.36 ± 1.64 a | 0.66 ± 0.10 b |
| TCH (μg/g DM) | 1.04 ± 0.14 b | 22.43 ± 2.10 a | 1.00 ± 0.13 b |
TPC—total phenolic content; TFC—total flavonoid content; CHa—chlorophyll a; CHb—chlorophyll b; TCH—total chlorophyll. Different letters in a row indicate statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) differences between the samples.
