*2.7. Statistical Analysis*

Statistical analysis was conducted using Statgraphics Centurion XVIII Software. The data were tested by a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Student's *t*-test with significance defined as *p* values less than 0.05 (*p* < 0.05). The experimental results are presented as the means and standard error (±SE) for the different replicates. Mean separation was performed using Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) test.
