A Comprehensive Approach to Antioxidant Activity in the Seeds of Wild Legume Species of Tribe Fabeae

Table 1

Phenolic contents (mg/g seed flour) and antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts (2 g catechin equivalents) from studied genera. Results are the average ± standard deviation of different populations. Superscript letters indicate significant differences between values in the same column (Scheffe’s test); and  .
