n = 10, sample size =30 for each type of bread at each storage time, standard deviations are given in parenthesis. Means in columns followed by different lowercase and capital letters differed significantly for the same sample (p < 0.05). Means in row followed by single (p < 0.05) or double (p < 0.01) asterisks differed significantly between the two different bread-making procedures at the same storage time and for the same flour employed
