Each value is expressed as a mean ± SD (n = 3). Values with different superscript letters between the same variety, within the same column are significantly different at p < 0.01. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 are significant differences from samples which were not treated with PVP, (NH₄)₂SO₄ and cold acetone. PVP: Polyvinylpyrrolidone; (NH₄)₂SO₄: ammonium sulphate. SFC and SFW indicate crude aqueous extract and water fraction of SF (var. angustifolia). BFC and BFW indicate crude aqueous extract and water fraction of BF (var. kuntsleri).
