∗ Data are reported as (mean ± standard deviation) in three replicates.

∗∗The same lowercase letters in each column row indicate no significant difference (P> 0.05) between the data based on Duncan's test.

∗∗∗ (C): Maltodexterin (50 %) + WPI (50 %) - 12:1; (F): Maltodexterin (30 %) + WPI (70 %) - 12:1; (I): Maltodexterin (70 %) + WPI (30 %) - 12:1; (M): Chitosan (10 %) - 4:1.
