Table 5 Quantification of phytochemicals of fractions from leaf extracts of C. albidum

Phytochemical	Hexane	Dichloromethane	Ethyl acetate	Hydromethanol
Total phenols(mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract)	85.65 ± 1.5^a	89.50 ± 2.00 ^a	220.55 ± 8.00 ^b	76.40 ± 4.50^a
Total flavonoids (mg quercetin equivalent/g extract)	75.00 ± 2.50^a	80.50 ± 1.50 ^a	120.50 ± 4.50^b	72.00 ± 2.50^a
Total tannins (mg tannic acid equivalent/g extract)	38.75 ± 2.00 ^a	34.50 ± 1.40 ^a	65.60 ± 2.50 ^b	24.50 ± 1.00^c

^{a, b, c} These lower case letters a, b and c are different levels of significance at p < 0.05. a is significantly different from b and c, and vice versa. b is also significantly different from c and vice versa. The use of such alphabets is to show the homogenous sets which would bear same alphabet so that the different sets can easily be identified
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Values in the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) from each other
