Antioxidant capacity of A. vulgaris extracts determined by ABTS and DPPH assays
| A. vulgaris extracts | ABTS (mg VCEAC/g) | DPPH (mg VCEAC/g) |
|---|---|---|
| Petroleum Ether | 18.0 ± 3.6 | 15.4 ± 0.1 |
| Dichloromethane | 90.7 ± 0.5* | 40.5 ± 1.1* |
| Methanol | 99.2 ± 0.2* | 88.4 ± 0.1*# |
The results are expressed as the mean ± SE, n = 3
*p < 0.05 vs. petroleum ether extract
#p < 0.05 vs. dichloromethane extract
