TABLE 1.

Extract yield, total phenolic, total flavonoid contents, and radical scavenging capacity of different herbal teas

Assays	Herbal Teas		BHT
Assays	Hibiscus	Ginger	BHT
Extract yield (g/100 g)	18.41 ± 0.55^b	10.22 ± 0.51^a	‐‐‐
TPC (mg/g of dry plant material, measured as gallic acid equivalent)	5.82 ± 0.33^b	1.45 ± 0.08^a	‐‐‐
TFC (mg/g of dry plant material, measured as catechin equivalent)	9.17 ± 0.90^b	1.95 ± 0.13^a	‐‐‐
DPPH radical scavenging activity (%) exhibited by 10 µg/ml	59.0 ± 2.0^b	53.4 ± 1.4^a	89.1 ± 2.2^c

Values are mean ± SD of three independent experiments.

Different superscript letters in the same row represent significant (p ≤ .05) difference among hibiscus, ginger teas, and synthetic antioxidant (BHT).
