IPA-EA: I. batatas aerial-ethyl acetate extracts, IPA-M: I. batatas aerial-methanol extract, IPT-EA: I. batatas tuber-ethyl acetate extract, and IPT-M: I. batatas tuber-methanol extract. Each value is represented as Mean±SD (n=3). represents the significance of flavonoid/phenolic quantified and stands for not detected.
