This was repeated thrice; extracts were pooled, filtered, and dried using rotary vacuum concentrator and lyophilizer. The lyophilized extracts were finally dissolved in methanol and diluted for various working concentrations. Extracts in equal concentration (500 µg) was used for each sample in all the antioxidant assays.
