Texture, pH, and salinity values of R. pulmo JF-B (JF directly pre-treated on the boat) and JF-DW (JF washed with drinking water). JF samples were untreated and treated with brines containing different calcium salts at 5 days of treatment (Ca-Citrate: calcium citrate; Ca-Lactate: calcium lactate), and JF-DW was treated with salt–alum (obtained after 20 days at 4 °C and 2 days of air drying, as described in the Material and Methods section).

| Untreated | Ca-Citrate | Ca-Lactate | Salt-Alum | |
| Texture (N) | ||||
| JF-B | −74 ± 15 (a) | −34 ± 11 (b) | −53 ± 8 (b) | n.d. |
| JF-DW | −75 ± 10 (a) | −137 ± 15 (b) | −117 ± 5 (b) | −43 ± 11(c) |
| Salinity (%) | ||||
| JF-B | 3.5 ± 0.1 (a) | 2 ± 0.2 (b) | 2.4 ± 0.1 (b) | n.d. |
| JF-DW | 3.5 ± 0.2 (a) | 1.5 ± 0.3 (b) | 1.8 ± 0.2 (b) | 2.5 ± 0.1 (c) |
| pH | ||||
| JF-B | 7.1 ± 0.2 (a) | 4.72 ± 0.2 (b) | 7.06 ± 0.3 (a) | n.d. |
| JF-DW | 6.9 ± 0.3 (a) | 5.2 ± 0.1 (b) | 5.56 ± 0.4 (b) | 3.65 ± 0.4 (c) |
The different letters in line indicate significant differences between the samples (p < 0.05). N: Newton; n.d., not determined.
