Effective concentration values (EC50, mg/mL) were calculated from the regression lines using four different concentrations (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/mL) and their data were presented as 50% scavenging activity.
Reducing power values (EC0.3, mg/mL) were presented by the sample concentration at 0.3 of absorbance value at 700 nm.
Each value represents mean±SD (n=5). Means with different superscripts among the samples are significantly different at p<0.05.
