The antioxidant activities of these compounds were
evaluated by in vitro models of scavenging superoxide anion radicals, DPPH radicals and ABTS radicals,
chelating ability of ferrous ion and inhibition capability of Fe (II)-induced lipid peroxidation, respectively.
The results revealed that all the tested phenolics showed strong radical scavenging activity, good potency
to chelate Fe2+ and good inhibition ability of lipid peroxidation.
