Dry matter and ash contents and in vitro digestibility values of matcha teas.
| Values | Dry Matter (%) | Ash 1 (%) | Digestibility (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| JT | 96.9 ± 0.3 a | 4.99 ± 0.05 a | 65.8 ± 0.3 a |
| AT | 96.2 ± 0.3 a | 4.85 ± 0.05 b | 64.9 ± 0.5 b |
| WT | 95.4 ± 0.4 b | 4.64 ± 0.05 c | 61.2 ± 0.4 c |
All results are presented as means ± SD, n = 5 (the mean of five measurements). Means within a column with at least one identical small superscript do not differ significantly (p ≥ 0.05). 1 Presented in dry matter basis. JT—Japan bio tea, AT—Allnature tea, WT—Wolfberry tea. Dry matter was assessed according to ISO procedures of 1573 [17].
