Data are shown as (). Means with different superscripts, A and B in rows are significantly different () from each other using independent sample -test. Different superscripts in rows (C, D, and E) mean the significant difference between groups (paired sample -test, ). Means with different superscripts (a, b, and c) in rows are significantly different () from each other using one-way ANOVA (Duncan). Control means sterilized low-fat milk with no extract. Represents the unit mgΤΕ/g for Gac fruit extracts, and the units of for milk samples (ABTS) and M/L for milk samples (DPPH). ¹Represents the unit mg Gallic/g sample for Gac fruit extracts and the unit mg Gallic/L for milk samples. NA indicates data are not available.
