  1. Data are reported as mean ± standard deviation, derived from the analysis of three replicates per sample. Letters highlight statistically significant differences among analyzed samples, based on a one-way ANOVA test (p < 0.05). Different letters within columns indicate differences according to Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (P ≤ 0.05).
