Variability of TPC (a) and TFC (b) between the four Cecropia species. O: C. obtusifolia; P: C. peltata; I: C. insignis; and H, C. hispidissima. TPC: total phenol content; mGAE/g DW, GAE: gallic acid equivalents. TFC: total flavonoid content; mg QE/g DW: quercetin equivalents, gram of dried weight (% w/w). The error bar was calculated from SD. ANOVA followed by multiple comparison test (Tukey method) showed no significant differences between the mean of each group.
