  1. Data were obtained from three or more independent experiments, performed in triplicate and represent mean in g/100 g dw ± SD of the mean. Means in a column that do not share a superscript letter are significantly different at p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA. See Fig. 3 for identification of the samples
