Changes to the and values in µmol Trolox Equivalents per gram (µmol TE/g) of the spices prior to digestion as well as after gastric and duodenal digestion. denotes statistically significant difference as compared with the respective values prior to in vitro digestion. Values represent mean ± SEM of 3 ≤ independent experiments.
