Table 3

The contents of total phenolics, total flavonoids, anthocyanidin, and alkaloids in crude aqueous leaf and seed extracts.

		Leaves	Seeds
Polyphenols	mg GAE/100 mg dw	^a	^b
Flavonoids	mg RE/100 mg dw	^a	^b
Anthocyanidin	mg CE/100 mg dw	^a	^b
Alkaloids	mg AE/100 mg dw	^a	^b

dw = dry weight; GAE = gallic acid equivalent; RE = rutin equivalent; CE = catechin equivalent; AE = atropine equivalent. Data are presented as (SD) of triplicate readings (). ^a,bMeans with different superscript letters in the same row differ significantly ().
