Results are expressed as average value and standard deviation of three separate experiments. The different letters (a–c) in the same column indicate significant differences by one-way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test (p < 0.05). Auto-A%: Auto-aggregation; CoA%: Co-aggregation; H%: Hydrophobicity.
