Means with different superscripts in every column (a, b) are significantly different (P<0.05).
1
Kruskal Wallis Test was used for difference significances. The zero value of PA content means “not detectable”.

mg/g= Milligram/gram,
3
ng/g= Nano gram/gram.
4
P-value is asymptotic, computed from the asymptotic Chi-square distribution of the test statistic
