*The net AUC was calculated by subtracting the blank AUC from the AUC of each sample, the standards, and the positive control. Final ORAC values were expressed as the equivalent concentration of Trolox (TE) that gives the same level of antioxidant activity as the samples at 20 μg/mL. **Means with different alphabets are statistically significant.
