Each values are reported as means of three replicate experiments with three samples analyzed per replicate (n=9).
SD, sun-dried salt, 2.1%; RS, refined salt, 2.1%; BS, baked salt, 2.1%; NP, nitrate pickling salt, 2.1%.
Figures with different letters within a same column differ significantly (p<0.05).
Figures with different letters within a same row differ significantly (p<0.05).
