Chemical compositions of different parts of Gardenia spp.

Gardenia parts	Moisture content (%)	Fat content (%)	Ash content (%)
Leaf*	95.83 ± 0.06b	7.2 ± 0.021a	7.34 ± 0.05c
Flower*	95.69 ± 0.06b	10.90 ± 0.17b	5.92 ± 0.11a
Fruit**	92.04 ± 0.03a	17.50 ± 0.09c	6.95 ± 0.03b

Values are the mean of triplicate samples ± standard error. Within the same column, values with the same superscript letter (a–c) are not significantly different at p = 0.05.

^*The sample was botanically described as belonging to G. jasminoides (BACH151).
