| Sample code | pH value | % Titratable acidity |
|---|---|---|
| K1 | 3.58 ± 0.08cd | 1.11 ± 0.03a |
| K2 | 3.53 ± 0.05d | 1.07 ± 0.01a |
| K3 | 3.55 ± 002d | 1.01 ± 0.01b |
| S1 | 3.76 ± 0.08b | 0.91 ± 0.03c |
| S2 | 3.99 ± 0.04a | 0.91 ± 0.01c |
| S3 | 3.89 ± 0.03a | 0.89 ± 0.02c |
| G1 | 3.95 ± 0.06a | 0.80 ± 0.03d |
| G2 | 3.72 ± 0.05b | 0.90 ± 0.03c |
| G3 | 3.68 ± 0.02bc | 0.86 ± 0.01c |
| CL | 3.91 ± 0.17a | 0.77 ± 011d |
All the values are mean ± standard deviation of duplicate determinations. Means within the same column with different letter superscripts indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
