Fruits name Total polyphenol (mg GAE/g)1) Total Flavonoid (mg QE/g)1)
O. ficus-indica 17.07±0.082) 8.65±0.08
O. humifusa 9.41±0.14*3) 2.03±0.08*
1)Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents are expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and quercetin equivalent (QE), respectively.
2)Each value is mean±SD of ≥3 determinations.
3)*Means within same column are significantly different by Student's t-teat (p<0.05).
