  1. Results are expressed as Mean ± SEM (n=3). The total phenolic content is reported in mg/g gallic acid equivalents, while the total flavonoid content is quantified using quercetin as the standard. Total ascorbic acid is expressed as mg/g ascorbic acid equivalents, and protein content is determined in mg/g BSA equivalents. Statistical differences at P < 0.05 were considered as a significant value. Different lowercase in each row indicates significant differences among the samples (p < 0.05)
