Effects of Cadmium on Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activities of Erica andevalensis

Figure 3

Content of the total phenolic compounds (a), flavonoids (b), total antioxidant capacity (c), and DPPH radical scavenging activity (d) in leaves extracts of E. andevalensis after five days of treatment period, exposed to 0, 0.05, 0.5, 5, or 50 μg cadmium g−1 soil (C, T1, T2, T3, and T4). All the values are the mean of three different samples ± standard error. The asterisks denoted significant differences compared to the control group ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ; 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 ; 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 ).
