Table 3.
Yield of extraction with aqueous solution (PBS) and hydroalcoholic solvent (80% EtOH); the extracts were lyophilized and compared to the dried whole jellyfish (WJ) samples of Cassiopea andromeda. (*) The yield respect to fresh weight (% FW) was theoretically calculated. Data are expressed as mean ± Standard Deviation, SD (n = 6).
