The phenolic compound were analyzed using liquid chromatography systems (RP‐HPLC; Waters), equipped with a photodiode detector (M‐2998) and C18 column (4.6 mm 5 µ × 25 cm). To separate phenolic compounds, a mobile phase consisting 0.01% (v/v) acetic acid, acetonitrile (v/v) (solvent 1), and acidified water (0.1% (v/v) acetic acid) (solvent 2) was used. The constant flow rate was 0.5 ml/min. Methanol 0.1% (v/v) (solvent 2) was used to separate flavonoid compounds. The gradient and elution programs were described by Mekky et al. (2019 (link)).
