Table 1 Contents of three vitamins in the different parts of Zizyphus lotus (L.)

Vitamins	Leaves	Root	Pulp	Stem	Seed
(mg/100 g of dry weight)
Vitamin A	13.52 ± 0.06^(a)	6.45 ± 0.09^(b)	71.63 ± 1.23^(c)	3.8 ± 0.96^(d)	nd
Vitamin C	63.40 ± 1.23^(e)	47.20 ± 0.82^(f)	190.65 ± 1.48^(g)	24.65 ± 1.22^(h)	170.84 ± 0.63⁽ⁱ⁾
Vitamin E	155.71 ± 1.08^(j)	4.7 ± 0.23^(k)	11.23 ± 1.36^(l)	4.5 ± 0.097^(m)	9.2 ± 0.54⁽ⁿ⁾

Vitamin concentrations were determined as described in the materials and methods section. Values are means ± SEM. Each value represents the mean of three determinations. Significant difference between different groups is as follows: a vs b p < 0.01; d vs a, b p < 0.01; c vs a, b, d p < 0.001; e vs f p < 0.01; g vs e, f, h, I p < 0.001; j vs k, l, m, n p < 0.001. k vs m, not significantly different; nd = not detected
