Table 4.
Values of flow index (n) and consistency index (K) of experimental (SA) and commercial spreads (SB and SC) of Table S1, obtained from the flow curve data regression by the power law model, at different temperatures.

Values are reported as mean values ± s.d. For each parameter, values with different lowercase letters within the same column (effect of temperature) are significantly different (p < 0.05), while values with different uppercase letters within the same row (effect of spread) are significantly different (p < 0.05).
