Protein-precipitating activity as a wound healing model of phenolic rich methanolic extracts of Achyranthes aspera Linn. collected from two different geographical locations (Ukulinga, South Africa and Ciaat, Eretria).

	Protein-precipitating activity
	Plant origin
	Ukulinga, South Africa	Ciaat, Eretria
Total phenolics (y)∗	0.129 ± 5.3 × 10-03	0.148 ± 0.3 × 10-02
Protein-precipitating phenolics (x)∗	0.089 ± 1.7 × 10-02	0.135 ± 4.4 × 10-03
Protein-precipitating capacity (%)	68.992 ± 0.962a	91.121 ± 1.372b

^∗x and y are the slopes of the curve (mg phenolics precipitated/mg plant samples) representing the protein-precipitating and the total phenolics in the sample respectively. Different letters across the protein-precipitating capacity (%) row indicate significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) between the protein biding capacities of the extracts from the two sources as separated by the Student t-test (n = 3).
