Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of the Extracts of Twelve Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Endemic Ecotypes of Southern Italy before and after Cooking
Table 2
Total polyphenols (PT), antioxidant activity, flavonoids (FT), and anthocyanin contents in the bean extracts. The concentration of total polyphenols was expressed as µg equivalents of gallic acid/g of DW sample; antioxidant activity was expressed as EC50 (mg/mL DPPH); flavonoids were expressed as µg equivalents of quercetin/g of DW sample; the content of anthocyanin content was expressed as µg equivalents of cyanidin-3-glucoside/g of DW sample. Data are the mean values of three independent experiments (±standard deviation).
