Each value is expressed as a mean ± SD (n = 3). Values with different superscript letters between the same variety, within the same column are significantly different at p < 0.01. ND: not determined. SFC, SFE and SFW indicate crude aqueous extract, ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction of SF (var. angustifolia). BFC, BFE and BFW indicate crude aqueous extract, ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction of BF (var. kuntsleri).
