* Data are expressed as mean value \(\pm\) standard error (SD), coefficient of variability (CV) and probability (_p_-value) for each parameter analyzed (_n_ = 3). Mean values followed by different letters indicated a significant difference between the garden garlic flower and wild leek flower (_p_ < 0.05) according to the ANOVA.
