Table 2.
Protein content in the upper phase (UP) and lower phase (LP) from the umbrella (UMB) and oral arms (OA) of eight samples of C. andromeda. Data are expressed as mg per g of hydroalcoholic extract dry weight (ExDW) for each sample (n = 3) and mean ± standard deviation (SD) was calculated taking all data into consideration. Superscript lowercase letters indicate significant differences; when data are analyzed by unpaired t-test, two-tail alpha = 0.05.
