*The results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different lowercase superscripts are significantly different (P < .05) in the same plant part but different solvents. Different uppercase superscripts indicate significant differences (P < .05) between different plant parts in the same solvents. Means with different letters are significantly different (a > b > c).
