aEAA: aerial parts of Erigeron annuus; EAF: flowers of Erigeron annuus; AA: ascorbic acid. bTPC: total phenol contents. cTFC: total flavonoid contents. All values are means ± SD. Means with different letters on the same column are significantly different at by t-tests (for TPC, TFC, and yields) and Tukey’s test (for ABTS+ and DPPH).
