Figure 2.

Thermal stress resistances in worms grown in the absence (control) and presence of different concentrations of the pomace extracts. The results are expressed as the percentage of surviving worms after being subjected to thermal stress (35 °C, 8 h) at the 5th day (left side) and 12th day (right side) of adulthood. Three independent experiments were carried out with a minimum of 100 animals per assay. The results are presented as the mean values ± SEM (n = 3). Statistical significance was calculated using the Chi Square Test. Different letters in bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
