Both extracts primarily contained flavonoids and phenolic acids; CM contained 35 flavonoids (27 flavones, 4 flavonols, 3 flavanones, and 1 flavanonol) and 14 caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), while CT contained 41 flavonoids (3 flavones, 6 flavonols, 20 flavanones, 5 flavanonols, and 7 chalcones) and 12 CQAs. CT demonstrated significantly higher total phenolics and flavonoids-three times more phenolics and two times more flavonoids than CM. It showed greater α-glucosidase inhibition, glycosylation reduction, and 2-NBDG uptake enhancement compared to CM. Additionally, CT's antioxidant capacity was superior to that of CM. These findings indicate that while both CM and CT are rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, their compositions differ significantly.
