¹ Means not labelled with the same letters are significantly different (p < 0.05); means are from two replicate samples, measured on an unstructured line scale (0–100). ² Fisher’s least significance difference (LSD) at p = 0.05. ³ Probability, obtained from ANOVA, that there is a difference between the means.
