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

Table 6

Antioxidant activity of phenols extracted for the four groups of taxa belong to tribe Fabeae from Southern Spain per gram of seed flour extracted (5 L). Results are the average ± standard deviation of different populations. Superscript letters indicate significant differences between values in the same row (Scheffe’s test; and ).
