Gallic acid was used for the calibration curve and results were expressed as gallic acid equivalent (mg GAE g−1 of extract).
All values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation () of three independent samples. RSD < 5%.
Calibration formula used: , ; is absorbance value; is concentration in mg mL−1.
