Table 2.

Calculated percentage differences in recovery yield of extracts between the extraction methods

Vernonia amygdalina Ocimum gratissimum
MAE Soxhlet Maceration
MAE 41.05% 46.81%
Soxhlet 24.59% 9.77%
Maceration 31.29% 8.88%

Percentage difference between two extraction methods = [(values from method with higher recovery yield - values from method with lower recovery yield)/values from method with higher recovery yield] × 100.
