Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) () which, with different letters (within column), are significantly different at .
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 catechin equivalents in 1 g of dried sample (mg CE/g).
3Total anthocyanin content was expressed as mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalents in 1 g of dried sample (mg c-3-gE/g).
4Total carotenoid content was expressed as mg of β-carotene in 1 g of dried sample (mg BC/g dried sample).
