Time	Drying Loss Rate (%)
0	NO
2 min	13.71 ± 10.04
5 min	12.98 ± 4.60
10 min	7.45 ± 4.95
30 min	29.16 ± 3.48
1 h	38.65 ± 5.40
2 h	36.90 ± 5.54
4 h	64.85 ± 7.92
8 h	75.28 ± 5.37

Loss drying rate (%) = (Concentration before drying − Concentration after drying)/Concentration before drying × 100%. Values are presented as mean ± SD. SD, standard deviation (for three male and three female rats).
