Quantitative phytochemical constituents of N. latifolia leaf extracts.
| Phytochemical | NLE | NLA |
|---|---|---|
| TFC (mg RE/g) | 11.02 ± 0.25a | 8.57 ± 0.13a |
| TPC (mg GAE/g) | 55.68 ± 0.45a | 54.07 ± 2.64a |
| TTC (mg TAE/g) | 183.96 ± 7.68b | 169.51 ± 6.20a |
| β-Carotene (mg CE/g) | 0.108 ± 0.05b | 0.038 ± 0.02a |
| Lycopene (mg CE/g) | 0.034 ± 0.03b | 0.015 ± 0.04a |
| Total alkaloid (mg/g) | 323.45 ± 5.80b | 134.39 ± 3.52a |
“TFC,” “TPC,” and “TTC” mean total flavonoid content, total phenolic content, and total tannin content, respectively. “mg RE/g”: mg rutin equivalents per gram extract; “mg GAE/g”: mg gallic acid equivalents per gram extract; “mg TAE/g”: mg tannic acid equivalents per gram extract; “mg CE/g”: mg carotenoid equivalents per gram extract; “mg/g”: mg per gram extract. Data are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Values across the same row with the same superscript alphabet indicate no significant difference while different superscript alphabet indicates significant difference (p < 0.05).
