Assays Herbal Teas BHT
Hibiscus Ginger
Extract yield (g/100 g) 18.41 ± 0.55b 10.22 ± 0.51a ‐‐‐
TPC (mg/g of dry plant material, measured as gallic acid equivalent) 5.82 ± 0.33b 1.45 ± 0.08a ‐‐‐
TFC (mg/g of dry plant material, measured as catechin equivalent) 9.17 ± 0.90b 1.95 ± 0.13a ‐‐‐

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).
