DPPH radical, superoxide anion scavenging activity, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation by different concentrations of EPS50MAE. Each value represents the mean ± SD of 4 experiments in triplicate.

	DPPH radical scavenging activity	Superoxide anion scavenging activity	Inhibition of lipid peroxidation
875 𝜇g/mL	30%	100%	40%
435 𝜇g/mL	12%	100%	20%
175 𝜇g/mL	8%	100%	10%
87.5 𝜇g/mL	0%	84%	0%
43.5 𝜇g/mL	0%	80%	0%
17.5 𝜇g/mL	0%	52%	0%
8.75 𝜇g/mL	0%	30%	0%
IC50 (𝜇g/mL)	>875 𝜇g/mL	17±0.3 𝜇g/mL*	>875 𝜇g/mL
