	Antiradical activity on DPPH^α	Ferrous ions chelating capacity^β
Standard	107.65 ± 3.72^b	0.50 ± 0.12^c
B. senegalensis	28.80 ± 1.18^c	3.36 ± 0.10^b
T. dodoneifolius	767.28 ± 2.78^a	431.48 ± 1.11^a

Values are the mean ± E.S.M; n = 3; values with different letters in the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05). α: standard used is vitamin C (R² = 0.9629); β: standard used is ethylenediamineacetic acid (R² = 0.9007)
