Pooled samples were analysed in triplicates. Data is presented as mean ± SD. Mean values were compared by nonparametric Kruskal Wallies test of one way ANOVA. Differences in alphabets are significantly different atP < 0.05. Percent gain or loss calculated when raw value taken as 100%. Percent recovery values are given in parenthesis. Decimal points are not given due to higher numbers.
