Similar phenolic (96–97 g GAE kg1 extract) and higher flavonoid
(62–63 g CE kg1 extract) contents were reported by Yazdanparast
et al. (2008) and Bahramikia and Yazdanparast (2010) in
hydro-ethanolic extracts of a watercress sample from Iran, as well
as analogous TBARS inhibition properties (0.27 g L1
). On the other
hand, the study conducted by Pereira et al. (2011) reported lower
values for phenolics (50.42 g GAE kg1 extract) but similar
flavonoids content for the control samples (35.17 g CE kg1
extract) in methanolic extracts.
