Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 4) in two independent assays. Cell viability is calculated as % with respect to digestion blank. Different lowercase letters (a,b) in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among samples. Different lowercase letters (x,y) in the same line in each treatment (FBs) indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between cell lines. Comparison of cell viability between control (untreated cells) vs. positive control (5-FU) for CCD18-Co (control: 101.1 ± 5.8 vs. 5-FU: 87.3 ± 5.8) and Caco-2 (control: 99.4 ± 1.96 vs. 5-FU: 76.5 ± 3.9) cells.
