UB10 = Unprocessed sesame seeds byproduct flour beverage−10%; EB10 = Extruded sesame seeds byproduct flour beverage−10%; TE: trolox equivalent. dw: dry weight. * Positive control IC50 values were expressed in mg of trolox/ml for ABTS and DPPH inhibition, mg of acarbose/ ml for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition, and mg of sitagliptin/mL for DPP4 inhibition. Different letters in the same row indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between the means according to Fisher’s test.
