EC50 values in different antioxidant assays and IC50 value in PPO inhibition activity of oriental melon peel extract and ascorbic acid
Samples | EC50 1) Values | IC50 2) Value |
DPPH radical scavenging activity | ABTS radical scavenging activity | Copper chelating activity | PPO inhibition activity |
Oriental melon peel | 0.26±0.013) | 0.76±0.01 | 0.70±0.03 | 0.33±0.05 |
Ascorbicacid | 0.01±0.00 | 0.10±0.01 | 0.20±0.00 | 0.01±0.00 |
EC50 value is the term half maximal effective concentration, %
IC50 value is the term half maximal inhibitory concentration, %
Each value represented mean±SD (n=3).
