Total polyphenols content was evaluated using the Folin–Ciocalteu phenol reagent [25 (link)]. The absorbance at λ = 760 nm was determined at room temperature through a Cary UV/Vis spectrophotometer (Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Gallic acid represented the standard. Results were expressed as μg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of the product ± standard deviation (SD). The concentration range for standard curve was between 34.02 μg and 680.04 μg.
