GAE: gallic acid equivalent. DPPH and ABTS values are expressed as TEAC millimolar concentration, obtained from a Trolox solution having an antiradical capacity equivalent to that of the dilution of the EVOO. FRAP value is expressed as Fe2+ millimolar concentration, obtained from a FeSO4 solution having an antioxidant capacity equivalent to that of the dilution of the EVOO.
