The Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay,
which measures the reduction of radical cations of ABTS by
antioxidants, was conducted as described by Lopez-Martinez
et al. (2009). Trolox was used as the reference compound. The
results are expressed in μmol of Trolox equivalents per g of dry
weight (μmol TE/g DW).The linear range of the calibration curve
was 100–1000 μM.
