On the other hand, the best extract obtained in this work, the 50% ethanol extract from the Mellanaise cultivar, showed higher total phenols content and similar
scavenging capacity for the DPPH radical (84.46 mg GAEs/g and EC50 = 0.33 mg/mL, respectively) than the aqueous Franquette extracts (74.08 mg GAEs/g and EC50 = 0.35 mg/mL), the cultivar that presented the best properties in the study developed by Oliveira
et al. (2008).
