Results are expressed as means ± standard deviations. Different lowercase letters in the same row indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among the fermentation days. Different capital letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among the fermentation batch. TRY: tryptamine; PHE: 2-phenylethylamine; PUT: putrescine; CAD: cadaverine; TYR: tyramine.
