1Values within the same column followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P < 0.05). 2SSA: specific surface area. 3D21: Length mean diameter. 4D32: Surface Weighted Mean. 5D43: Volume Weighted Mean. 6D10: the diameter where 10% of the population lies below the D10. 7D50 (the median): the diameter where half of the population lies below the D50. 8D90: the diameter where 90% of the distribution lies below the D90.
