Physical characteristics of the digesta: matrix degradation index (MDI %), mean particle size (d4,3), and Power Law parameters: K (consistence index) and n (flow behaviour index).
| MDI (%) | d4,3 | K (Pa·s) | n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control chia | 4.5 ± 0.06 a | 689 ± 15 d | 261.1 | 0.1821 |
| Fermented chia | 28.2 ± 3.7 b | 469 ± 12 c | 196.1 | 0.0901 |
| Control sesame | 42.18 ± 1.15 c | 391 ± 23 b | 12.01 | 0.0263 |
| Fermented sesame | 60.7 ± 2.4 d | 278 ± 34 a | 3.87 | 0.0052 |
a–d Letters refer to the homogenous groups obtained for different samples (control and fermented chia; control and fermented sesame) at statistical significance of 95% (p < 0.05).
