Data were expressed as mean value ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different superscripts (A, B, C, and D) within the column represent the significant differences () among the contents of each part (pericarp, leaf, and barks) compared in different solvents (hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous). And different subscript (a, b, and c) within the column represent the significant differences () among the contents of different parts (pericarp, leaf, and barks) compared in each solvent (hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and aqueous).
