The value after ± showed the standard deviation (n = 3). Means in a column followed by the same letter are not significantly different. Means marked with different letters (a, b, c, d, e) are significantly different according to the T-test for day 0 and the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test for day 30 and day 50 ().
