¹Sugar residues after acid hydrolysis plus fructose residues.

²Include acetic, butyric, propionic and lactic acid.

³Different superscript letters indicate significant difference within row which is attributed to diet (p<0.05). No statistically significant effect was observed for meal frequency (p>0.05).
