  1. Data are expressed as mean of three measurements ± standard deviation
  2. (*) mg GAE/g of dry weight
  3. (**) mg QE/g of dry weight
  4. Note: The data are given as mean ± standard deviation (SD) of triplicate experiments. The statistical comparison between values from the different plant extracts applied using the post hoc Duncan test. Means followed by distinct letters in the same column were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05)
