Table 2.
Extractive yield (EY) and total phenolic content (TPC) of methanol/water/acetic acid (49.5:49.5:1) extracts of Salix atrocinerea Brot., Salix fragilis L., and Salix viminalis L. barks.
Salix spp. | EY (% of Dry Bark, w/w) | TPC (g GAE kg−1 of Dry Bark) | TPC (mg GAE g−1 of Extract) |
---|---|---|---|
Salix atrocinerea Brot. | 15.1 ± 1.7 b | 44.47 ± 6.68 b | 293.36 ± 19.52 b |
Salix fragilis L. | 9.7 ± 0.3 a | 17.47 ± 3.19 a | 179.06 ± 30.64 a |
Salix viminalis L. | 10.1 ± 0.8 a | 24.76 ± 0.82 a | 246.44 ± 16.58 a,b |
The results represent the mean ± standard deviation. Means with different superscript minor case letters (a, b) within the same column are statistically different (one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s HSD test, p < 0.05). GAE, gallic acid equivalents.
