Table 1 Extraction yields (%), total phenols, tannins, and flavonoid content and concentrations that inhibited 50% of ABTS free radical (IC50) of Dicorynia guianensis according to solvents of extraction. Different letters within the column of a line indicate significant differences between extraction solvents (ρ < 0.05). Values are means ± standard deviation, N = 3
