Data are mean ± SE ( ). The means with different lower case letters (a, b, c, and d) in the same column are significantly different at P < 0.05 (ANOVA, followed by Duncan’s multiple comparison test). TFC: total flavonoid content expressed as mg quercetin equivalent (mg QE)/g of dry extract. TPC: total phenolic content; TET: total extractable tannin; NPP: nonprecipitable phenol contents expressed as mg tannic acid equivalent (mg TAE)/g of dry extract. HF: n-hexane fraction. CHF: chloroform fraction. EAF: ethyl acetate fraction. WF: water fraction.
