Values are mean ± standard deviation of three replicates.

Means followed by the same letter (a, b, c) in horizontal column are not significantly different at 0.05% level of probability using Duncan LSD post hoc test.

Means followed by the same letter (A, B, C) in vertical column are not significantly different at 0.05% level of probability using Duncan LSD post hoc test.
