Data represents the mean ± standard deviation (n = 5). Within columns, means followed by the same letter (a, b or c) are not significantly different between treatments according to the Tukey test (p = 0.05); While, within columns means followed by the different letter (a, b and c) are significantly different between treatments according to the Tuckey’s test (p = 0.05). ns: not significant; significant at the 0.05 probability level
