Changes in antioxidant activity (EC50) occurring during shelf-life after 5, 10, and 15 days of storage at 4 °C with different packaging.
| Storage Time | Sample | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UN-FIG | EC-FIG | AEC/0.25-FIG | AEC/0.5-FIG | |
| Day 0 | 8.2 ± 0.6 | 8.3 ± 0.5 (ns) | 8.1 ± 0.2 (ns) | 8.5 ± 0.4 (ns) |
| Day 5 | 7.6 ± 0.2 | 8.0 ± 0.7 (ns) | 8.1 ± 08 (ns) | 8.3 ± 0.3 (ns) |
| Day 10 | 6.9 ± 0.6 | 7.6 ± 0.3 * | 7.9 ± 0.2 * | 8.1 ± 0.1 ** |
| Day 15 | 6.3 ± 0.3 | 7.5 ± 0.1 * | 7.8 ± 0.8 * | 8.0 ± 0.9 ** |
Changes in antioxidant activity 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.
