Solvents used for preparation of samples, extraction and purification yields, total phenolic and carotene content of OE and F1–F4 obtained from E. cavolini.
| Solvents | Sample Abbreviation | Extraction/ Purification Yield (%) * |
TPC (mg GAE/g Sample) | TCC (mg β-CA/g Sample) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCM/MeOH = 3/1 | OE | 1.38 | 2.69 ± 0.01 | 4.93 ± 0.05 |
| c-HEX/EA = 3/1 | F1 | 0.73 (52.86) | 1.05 ± 0.09 | 13.30 ± 1.26 |
| c-HEX/EA = 1/1 | F2 | 0.13 (9.61) | 1.21 ± 0.17 | 16.29 ± 1.48 |
| EA | F3 | 0.13 (9.58) | 1.70 ± 0.06 | 23.11 ± 2.48 |
| EA/MeOH = 4/1 | F4 | 0.24 (17.13) | 3.28 ± 0.04 | 10.62 ± 0.97 |
TPC, total phenolic content; GAE, gallic acid equivalents; TCC, total carotene content; β-CA, β-carotene equivalents. TPC and TCC are expressed as mean value ± standard deviation of triplicate measurement. * Values in parentheses denote extraction yield of fractions from organic extract.
