Data are shown as (). The data are expressed as the ethanol percent, which was added to the samples resulting in visual precipitation. Control was sterilized milk with no extract. Different superscripts in a column (A, B, and C) mean significant difference between groups () by using one-way ANOVA (Duncan). Different superscripts in a column (D, E, and F) mean significant difference between groups () by using the independent sample -test. Different superscripts in a column (a, b, and c) mean significant difference between groups () by using one-way ANOVA (Duncan). NA indicates data are not available. Superscripts of 1 and 2 indicate the absorbance values at 532 nm (TBA) and 443 nm (HMF), respectively.
