TPC: total phenolic contents, TFC: total flavonoid contents, TAC: total antioxidant capacity, TRP: total reducing power, GAE: gallic acid equivalent, QE: quercetin equivalent, and DE: dry extract. Data values shown represent Mean±SD (n=3). Means with different superscript (a-d) letters in the column are significantly (P < 0.05) different from one another.
