TeA—tenuazonic acid; AOH—alternariol; AME—alternariol monomethyl ether; LAB—the lactic acid bacteria count; TYC—the total count of yeasts and molds. Each value is the mean of six replicates. Standard deviation values are given in parentheses. + Significant at p < 0.01 level, * Significant at p < 0.05.
