All values are the means of triplicate determinations ± SD. The means within columns with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). b: d (0.1), d (0.5), and d (0.9) = granule sizes at which 10, 50, and 90% of granule volume are smaller, respectively; D (3,2) = surface‐area‐weighted mean diameter; D (4,3) = volume‐weighted mean diameter.
