= debranned nixtamal yield (kg of debranned nixtamal /kg of maize); EVN = expansion volume of debranned nixtamal; and DMLN = dry matter loss due to nixtamalization process.
The number in parenthesis indicates the number of analytical replicates for each batch performed to obtain the results of each component.
Means followed by the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (Tukey, ).
