Enhanced DPPH radical scavenging activity and DNA protection effect of litchi pericarp extract by Aspergillus awamoribioconversion

Table 1 DPPH radical scavenging activity of LPE

	DPPH radical scavenging activity (%)
	Water fraction	Ethyl acetate fraction
3 days-A. awamori-fermented LPE	18.23 ± 1.06^a	19.5 ± 1.12^a
6 days-A. awamori-fermented LPE	11.86 ± 1.10^b	15.43 ± 1.45^b
15 days-A. awamori-fermented LPE	12.53 ± 1.16^b	36.82 ± 2.19^c

DPPH radical scavenging activities of LPE in the water-extracted fraction and ethyl acetate-extracted fraction in the absence of A. awamori were 15.53 ± 1.36 and 25.41 ± 1.78, respectively. Means followed by the same letter within a column were not significantly different at the 5% level.
