The data is presented as the mean ± standard deviation of concentrations (mg/g) of three samples. Samples of green propolis were compared among themselves. The symbols correspond to statistical analysis. For each of the markers different symbols indicate differences among the samples ( ), while the similar symbols indicate no statistical difference among the samples. Analyzed by one-way ANOVA test followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparisons.
