Values are mean of three replicates. Small alphabetic letters with different values indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) in toxin reduction at different temperature and incubation periods in each column. Capital alphabetic letters with different values indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among controls and tested plant extracts at different temperature and incubation period in each row.
