Relative ratio of antioxidant activity to the yield of hot water extract

Extraction condition1) ABTS assay Alkyl assay DPPH assay SOD assay MTT assay
AE 1.90 2.32 1.72 1.65 1.84
OE 1.36 1.86 1.39 1.36 1.06
HWSE 1.29 1.81 1.58 1.25 1.06
HWASE 1.002) 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
BE 1.58 2.15 1.37 1.37 1.07
AE, autoclave extraction; OE, oven extraction; HWSE, hot water & sonication extraction; HWASE, hot water & 0.5% (v/v) acetic acid & sonication; BE, boiling extraction.
Relative ratio of antioxidant activity to yield were calculated by normalizing the ratio by that of HWASE.
