Table 5. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity of ginger and ginger pomace after hot-air drying and freeze-drying
Treatment1) | DPPH radical scavenging activity (%) | ABTS radical scavenging activity (%) |
FGHAD | 60.60±1.71d2) | 89.6±0.16d |
FGFRD | 70.84±0.97c | 93.3±0.25c |
GPHAD | 72.26±0.49b | 95.4±0.05b |
GPFRD | 77.88±0.46a | 95.5±0.10a |
FGHAD, fresh ginger hot-air dried (50°C, 8 h); FGFRD, fresh ginger freeze-dried; GPHAD, ginger pomace hot-air dried; GPFRD, ginger pomace freeze-dried.
All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Means with different superscript letters (a-d) in the same column are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test.
