1 Con = control, Na2SeO3 = sodium selenite; Se-yeast = Selenium yeast; ADS18 = Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Initial = day 3, fresh = day 95 and stored = day 109 for 2 weeks. *: Antioxidant activity evaluated as Phosphomolybdenum reducing power and express in ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE). **: Antioxidant activity evaluated as ferric reducing power and expressed gallic acid equivalent (GAE); a–d Mean in the same row with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05). NA = not applicable.
