1 Means (± standard error) in columns not sharing the same letters are significantly different according to the LSD test (p=0.05).
2 Significance: ***, **, and *, respectively, for p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.01, and p ≤ 0.05; ns, not significant.
3 a.g.e, acid gallic equivalent; q.e., quercetin equivalent; c.g.e., cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent.
