TAC: total antioxidant capacity; ABTS: ABTS radical scavenging capacity; DPPH: DPPH radical scavenging capacity; superoxide radical: superoxide radical scavenging capacity; FRAP: ferric-reducing antioxidant power. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Groups tht do not share a common letter indicate a significant difference ().
