*3.6. Statistical Analyses*

The results of antioxidant analyses were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and antimicrobial results as a mean of 3 replicas. Analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) was used to assess the difference between TPC, TTC and antioxidant assays, followed by a least significance difference test at 95% confidence level to evaluate differences between sets of mean values [55]. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relation between the variables. Analyses were carried out using Statgraphics Centurion-Ver.16.1.11 (StatPoint Technologies, Inc., Warrenton, VA, USA).
