Table 2.

Similarity and diversity in biochemical compounds composition of M. piperita and O. basilicum essential oils were assessed with the PMA similarity index (minimum similarity =0; max similarity =1) and whit Shannon entropy and Pielou index (minimum diversity =0; max diversity =1). The standard error of three technical replicates is reported.
