Means for groups in homogenous subsets are displayed comparison of means using DMRT. The DMRT test showed that the mixture of acetic acid, propionic acid, and trimethylamine was found to be significant () compared to those of acetic acid, propionic acid, Trimethylamine, phosphonic acid, and phenol separately as well as combinations.
