## 3 Results and Discussion
### Total Flavonoid and Phenol Contents  
The total flavonoid and phenol results are shown in Table 4. The total flavonoid contents of the shade-dried, sun-dried, and oven-dried samples were 5.02 \(\pm\) 0.26 (ug/mL), 4.18 \(\pm\) 0.20 (ug/mL), and 2.98 \(\pm\) 0.44 (ug/mL), respectively. There was a significant difference among the treatments at \(p\) < 0.05. Flavonoids are the most common and largely distributed group of plant phenolic compounds, characterized by a benzo-pyrone moiety [29]. Plant flavonoids have antioxidant activity in vitro and also act as antioxidants in vivo [30; 31]. Flavonoids are highly effective scavengers of the most potent oxidizing molecules, including singlet oxygen and other free radicals associated with some diseases [32]. The total phenol contents for shade-dried, sun-dried, and oven-dried samples were 7.97 \(\pm\) 0.21 (ug/mL), 7.10 \(\pm\) 0.79 (ug/mL), and 5.34 \(\pm\) 0.69 (ug/mL), respectively. There was no significant difference (\(p\) > 0.05) between the shade- and sun-dried samples; however, a significant (\(p\) < 0.05) difference in flavonoid content was observed between shade-dried and oven-dried and between sun-dried and oven-dried treatments.
