Iodine adsorption of samples in relation to their doses.

DOSE	CPZAC	CPPAC	UPC
0.3 g	57.00 ± 0.00	64.00 ± 1.41	24.50 ± 6.36
0.5 g	72.50 ± 2.12	81.50 ± 2.12	51.00 ± 0.00
0.7 g	84.50 ± 2.12	92.50 ± 2.12	64.00 ± 2.12

Results are given as mean ± standard deviation (triplicate values).
CPZAC = carbonized plantain zinc chloride activated carbon, CPPAC = carbonized plantain phosphoric acid activated carbon, and UPC = untreated plantain carbon.
