EC50 (mg/mL) of antioxidant properties of the methanolic extracts from Northern Morocco and of the standard Trolox®.
| Assays | P. flaccida (mg/mL) | L. nuda (mg/mL) | Trolox (mg/mL) | One-Way ANOVA * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DPPH radical-scavenging activity | 1.18 ± 0.11 a | 0.98 ± 0.01 b | 0.020 ± 0.01 c | <0.0001 |
| β-carotene/linoleate assay | 0.22 ± 0.01 b | 0.39 ± 0.02 a | 0.006 ± 0.01 c | <0.0001 |
| Ferricyanide/Prussian blue assay | 0.63 ± 0.01 a | 0.48 ± 0.00 b | 0.080 ± 0.02 c | <0.0001 |
The results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). * p < 0.05 indicates that the mean value of at least one component differs from the others. For each mushroom sample, means within a line with different letters differ significantly (p < 0.05).
