Each value represented the of three replicates ( ). Values with different letters are significantly different( .)based on One Way and Tukey HSD test.
Data of total phenolic contents are expressed as milligrams of gallic acid (GAE) equivalents per microgram dry weight.
Quercetin and BHT were used as a positive control, = 4.95  g/mL and 50.31  g/mL and the final concentration were 125  g/mL.
