Changes in total flavonoid contents (mg Catechin equivalents (CE)/100 g FW) occurring after 5, 10, and 15 days of storage with different packaging.
| Storage Time | Sample | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UN-FIG | EC-FIG | AEC/0.25-FIG | AEC/0.50-FIG | |
| Day 0 | 41.2 ± 2.0 | 41.5 ± 1.5 (ns) | 42.7 ± 6.4 (ns) | 43.3 ± 2.0 (ns) |
| Day 5 | 42.3 ± 3.7 | 40.2 ± 5.3 (ns) | 42.8 ± 5.9 (ns) | 44.8 ± 3.2 (ns) |
| Day 10 | 38.6 ± 4.3 | 38.2 ± 4.6 (ns) | 41.9 ± 8.3 ** | 44.1 ± 4.1 ** |
| Day 15 | 34.7 ± 7.4 | 39.3 ± 5.1 * | 42.0 ± 2.8 ** | 43.6 ± 7.5 ** |
Changes in total flavonoids comparing EC-FIG vs. UN-FIG, AEC/0.25-FIG vs. UN-FIG, and AEC/0.5-FIG vs. UN-FIG. Significant differences were determined with a t-test. p-value > 0.5 nonsignificant (ns); * p-value < 0.5; ** p-value < 0.01.
