±: standard deviation of three replicates. Values with a different letter (a - c) within a row of the same storage day of each treatment are significantly different (P < 0.05). Values with a different letter (A - E) within a column of the same treatment are significantly different (P < 0.05) by using Tukey’s post-hoc test.
