CrE: C. racemosa—ethanol (polar); CrEA: C. racemosa—ethyl acetate (semi-polar); CrNH: C. racemosa—n-hexane (non-polar); values are presented as means ± SD of triplicate analysis (n = 3). Letters (x, y, z) denote significant differences (p < 0.05; 95% CI; one-way ANOVA) between the mean values within the same column.
