  1. Values indicate mean ± SD (n = 3). DW: dry weight; CE: catechin equivalents
  2. FDL freeze-dried leaves, FDS freeze-dried stems, ADL air-dried leaves, ADS air-dried stems
  3. a–gMeans not sharing a common letter within a column indicate that extracts from the same parts of PHT are significantly different (p < 0.05) by one-way ANOVA
