Total phenolic content (TPC) and antiradical activity of mushroom extracts.

<p>TPC expressed as mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram of dried extract; IC₅₀ expressed as mg of dry extract per mg DPPH^●; AE—antiradical efficiency (1/IC₅₀); TE—Trolox equivalent; VCE -ascorbic acid equivalent. Equivalents were calculated by dividing extract mean IC₅₀ by standard mean IC₅₀. For Trolox IC₅₀ = 0.134 mg/mg DPPH^●; for ascorbic acid IC₅₀ = 0.146 mg/mg DPPH^●. Mean values of three replicate assays with standard deviations.
