Percentage of vit. D2 retention after thermal treatment at 75 ℃ incubated at different time points in the dark. Number of repetition for each treatment: n = 3. The data are represented as the mean ± S.D. from 3 independent experiments where *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, vit. D2 (5 μg) vs vit. D2 (5 μg) + quercetin (5 μg), vit. D2 (5 μg) vs vit. D2 (5 μg) + quercetin (10 μg). Statistical significance analysis was carried out through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) prism.
