Notes: n.d.—not detected; LOD—limit of detection; LOQ—limit of quantification. The results were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test. Different letters (a to g) in each row and for each phenolic compound mean significant differences (p < 0.05) among treatments.
