Data were obtained in triplicate and expressed as mean ± SD. The superscript letters within the same row represented significant differences (p < 0.05). 1 Results were calculated based on a wet weight basis (WWB). 2 Results were calculated based on a dry weight basis (DWB). 3 Results were expressed as tartaric acid.
