Values are expressed as the mean±SD (n=3). TPC, total phenolic content; GAE, gallic acid equivalents; VCE, vitamin C equivalents; FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power; FeSO4 eq, ferrous sulfate equivalents. Different superscript letters (a-c) within the same column indicate significant differences (p<0.05) by Tukey’s HSD test.
