| SOD | DPPH | |
| Methanol | 7.1±1.78 | 11.8±0.26a |
| n-hexane | 26.8±3.48 | 23.7±0.55 |
| Ethyl acetate | 6.2±0.47 | 11.2±0.70 |
| Water | 38±8.38 | 16.3±0.33 |
| Quercetin (+) | 5.26±0.27 | 3.8±0.31 |
aThe DPPH measurements were tested in duplicate, while the SOD values were measured in pentuiplicate and were statistically expressed as mean ± standard deviation. SD: Standard deviation, SOD: Superoxide dismutase, DPPH: Diphenylpicrylhidrazyl
