Table 5.
Vitamin B9 (μg/100 g, fw) detected control and Sicilian and Mediterranean chicken burgers. The variation (%) from the expected fortification amounts are reported in bold and italic. Data are reported in terms of mean ± standard deviation of n = 10 samples for control and of n = 5 samples for each treatment/recipe combination, where each sample was analyzed three times.

For control and treated burgers: different superscript letters in the same row indicate significantly different values for a given parameter (p < 0.05 by post hoc Tukey’s HSD test); the same superscript letters in the same row indicate not significantly different values for a given parameter (p > 0.05 by post hoc Tukey’s HSD test). For a given fortification formula: * indicates significantly different values between Sicilian and Mediterranean burgers (p < 0.05 by Student’s t-test).
