  1. Control (Ctrl); frozen yogurt with 4% carob pods (FYC4); 8% carob pods (FYC8); and 12% carob pods (FYC12). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (M ± SD). Within each row, values sharing the same superscript letter are not significantly different (p > 0.05), whereas values with different superscript letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
