Values are presented as mean ± SD (𝑛=3) which, with different letters (within column), are significantly different at 𝑃<0.05. ND: not detected.
¹Total phenolic content was expressed as mg gallic acid equivalents in 1 g of dried sample (mg GAE/g).
²Total flavonoid content was expressed as mg rutin equivalents in 1 g of dried sample (mg RE/g).
³Total anthocyanin content was expressed as mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents in 100 g of dried sample (mg C-3-GE/100 g dried sample).
⁴Total carotenoid content was expressed as mg of 𝛽-carotene equivalents in 100 g of dried sample (mg BC/100 g dried sample).
