Each value is expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3); peel and green mixture (PGW); core (CW); whole (WW). Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); SC50 = the concentration providing 50% scavenging activity (mg/mL); MC90 = the concentration providing 90% chelating activity (mg/mL); µM Fe2+/g extract = µM of ferrous ion per g of extract; Nd = Not determined. Significant differences are indicated as * p < 0.05 (compare to the standard substances).
