All the values are mean ± standard deviation. GAE: gallic acid equivalents. AE: aqueous extract. ME: methanolic extract. QE: quercetin equivalents. AAE: ascorbic acid equivalent. IC50: The extract concentration provides 50% inhibition. DPPH: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. ABTS: 2,2′-azino-bis (3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid). dw: dry weight. Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) within conditions according to the two-tailed Student’s t-test.
