Data is shown as means ± standard errors. Values with different lower case letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatments. Values with different capital letters in the same row indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) with respect to storage time. V1: 2.5 mg/mL of vanillin; V2: 5 mg/mL of vanillin; G1: 0.6 μL/mL of geraniol; G2: 1.2 μL/mL of geraniol; PE1: 180 μg/mL of pomegranate extract; PE2: 360 μg/mL of pomegranate extract
