Table 4

Results of O₂^•−, FRAP, and BCB tests, beside TPC and TFC, of juices of C. bergamia fruits obtained from cultivars “fantastico,” “femminello,” and “castagnaro”. mg GAE/g = mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram of the dried sample; mg QE/g = mg of quercetin equivalents per gram of the dried sample; IC₅₀ = concentration of the sample required to inhibit the activity by 50% in mg/mL; mg TE/g = mg of Trolox equivalents per gram of the dried sample; % AA = percentage of antioxidant activity at final concentration of 0.25 mg/mL.
