Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of three independent determinations. Different superscripts in a row represent significantly different samples (p < 0.05). TPC: total phenolic content; TFC: total flavonoid content; DRSA: DPPH radical scavenging activity; FRAP: ferric reducing antioxidant power.
