Results are presented as () on a dry weight basis. TPC is given as mg gallic acid equivalents per 100 g of flour. TFC is given as mg quercetin equivalents per 100 g of flour. Within a column, mean values superscripted with different letters are significantly different at while mean values superscripted with the same letter are not significantly different at . E: ethanolic extract; M: methanolic extract.
