  1. (EE_Tamb): leaves were dried at room temperature (16 °C); (EE_70, EE_100, and EE_120): leaves were oven dried at 70, 100, and 120 °C, respectively; (EE_MW): leaves were dried in microwave as reported in Materials and Method. Each value is the mean of 3 independent trials ± S.D. Data sharing different letter are significantly different at p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey Post hoc test)
