Storage conditions: RT: room temperature (25°C); RE: refrigeration (4°C); CC: climatic chamber (40°C and 65% humidity). The analyses were carried out by variance (ANOVA) of one way, followed by Dunnett's test. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
