| BW1‐MAase | 1.00 | 8.20 | 15.72 ± 0.41bc |
| BW2‐MAase | 1.00 | 45.00 | 0.35 ± 0.30e |
| BW3‐MAase | 1.00 | 82.00 | 1.01 ± 0.17e |
| BW4‐MAase | 2.50 | 8.20 | 42.04 ± 5.37a |
| BW5‐MAase | 2.50 | 45.00 | 1.99 ± 0.90de |
| BW6‐MAase | 2.50 | 82.00 | 1.14 ± 0.61e |
| BW7‐MAase | 4.00 | 8.20 | 21.51 ± 12.29b |
| BW8‐MAase | 4.00 | 45.00 | 10.47 ± 4.79cd |
| BW9‐MAase | 4.00 | 82.00 | 4.03 ± 2.32de |
BW‐MAase = Encapsulated MAase into beeswax. The values are expressed as Mean ± Standard deviation. Means with superscripts of different letters are significantly different (p < .05).
