The presented results are the inhibition rate compared to the control (% of growth inhibition). The results are the mean values ± SD (n = 5).

#30 mg/ml of extract contains 0.86 mg, 1.45 mg and 1.14 mg of p-coumaric, ferulic and caffeic acids, respectively, and 5.5 mg SDG, which is equal to 10 mg of dry extract, ##50 mg/ml of extract.
