Effects of Solvents on Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Ginger Extracts

Table 1

Total phenolic content of ginger from Ayikel and Mandura locations extracted with different solvents.

Solvents	TPC (mg GAE/100g)
	Ayikel	Mandura
Ethanol	1009.917 ± 0.140^a,x	941.847 ± 0.177^e,y
Ethyl acetate	899.041 ± 0.121^b,x	778.806 ± 0.253^f,y
Methanol	1183.813 ± 0.418^c,x	1022.409 ± 0.265^g,y
Acetone	748.865 ± 0.210^d,x	690.152 ± 0.214^h,y

Values represented mean ± S.D. of three parallel measurements (). For each solvent extracts, values in the same column for each sample followed by different letters (a–h) are significantly different (). For each plant sample, values in same row for each solvent followed by a different letter (x, y) are significantly different () by Tukey’s multiple range tests.
