TLDR
Rooibos extracted at 85°C had the highest antioxidant activity measured by all assays, higher contents of phenolic compounds, and lower IC50 values for the digestive enzymes, which clearly indicates that the extraction temperature is the main factor leading to a higher extraction of bioactive compounds from red rooibos.
