Table 5: Quantification of total flavonoids (TF) and total phenols (TP).
DIC conditions P: saturated steam pressure, t: thermal treatment time, C: number of cycles; CP 8 (DIC-CP) Central Points.TF: Total flavonoids; TP: Total phenols; RM yields: Yields from untextured raw material; DIC-M yields: Yields from DIC-textured leaves.
