Abstract

Highlights: [•] Genetic and abiotic factors influence phenolics production in Colocasia esculenta. [•] C. esculenta exhibits infraspecific chemical variability. [•] C. esculenta extracts are strong superoxide radical scavengers. [•] Wound healing may be due to oxidation and hyaluronic acid degradation prevention. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
