*3.2. Concentration of Total Phenol, Flavonoid and Antioxidant Capacity of Bee Pollen*

The mean content of TPC and TFC was 1612.6 mg/100 g and 256.8 mg/100 g, respectively (Table 2). The range for TPC was between 771.8 mg/100 g and 2638.9 mg/100 g and for TFC between 90.8 mg/100 g and 639.3 mg/100 g. The antioxidant activity expressed as DPPH and ABTS had a mean value of 65.7% and 57.4%, respectively. The maximum value of DPPH found in the samples was 88.2% and for ABTS, of 79.3%. Significant differences were found between the mean values for all the variables analyzed in the bee pollen samples (*p* < 0.05).
