TABLE 2.

Mean concentrations (M) and corresponding standard deviations (SD) of metabolites contained in cinnamon extracts dissolved in CD3OD as determined from 1H-NMR spectra. Concentrations of metabolites are expressed in mg/g of extract. M and SD of the extraction yields are also reported. Results are reported as the mean and SD of three independent experiments.
