  1. The IC50 (effective concentration causing 50% antioxidant ability) were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis. Values represent mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Values with the same letter within a column are not significantly different (p > 0.05). Positive control: EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)
