* The results are the mean of two determinations ± the standard deviation. The comparison between the different storage times was carried out by one-way ANOVA. Different lowercase letters indicate a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Fresh = fresh soup (not frozen); Frozen T0 = frozen soup at the time of freezing treatment; Frozen T1 = frozen soup after 35 days of storage; Frozen T2 = frozen soup after 70 days of storage.
