TPC: total phenolic content, TFC: total flavonoid content, TEAC: trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, and FRAP: ferric-reducing antioxidant power. Values are means ± standard deviation (SD). Averages, in the same column, followed by the same alphabetical letters are not significantly different according to post hoc Bonferroni test ().
