Figures & data

Table 1. Content of phenolics and flavonoids in different sweet corn varieties and percentage contribution of free and bound fractions to the total (means ± SD, n = 3).

Table 2. The content of ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid in different sweet corn varieties tested (μg/100g FW) (means ± SD, n = 3).

Table 3. IC50 values of DPPH scavenging activity of different sweet corn varieties determined (mg FW of sample /mL) (means ± SD, n = 3).1

Figure 1. Antioxidant activity of the free and bound phenolic fractions of 8 sweet corn varieties determined by the FRAP assay (n=3, means ± SD) FRAP: Ferric reducing antioxidant power. Means without a common letter are significantly different (p < 0.05).
