1) Each value is mean±SD of ≥3 determinations.
2) Values represent an average of three determinations.
3)a-c Means with different superscripts within the same row are significantly different by Duncan's multiple range test (p<0.05).
4)* Means within same item are significantly different by Student's t-teat (p<0.05).
