The data are reported as average ± SD (three replicates). The different superscript lowercase letters within the same column indicate significant statistical difference (p < 0.05). GAE: Gallic acid equivalent. QE: Quercetin equivalent. DW: Dry weight. TPC: Total phenolic content. TFC: Total flavonoid content. FD: Freeze drying. SD: Shade drying. OD50: Hot-air oven drying at 50 °C. OD70: Hot-air oven drying at 70 °C. MD: Microwave drying.
