  1. a–cBars with different lowercase letters indicate a significantly (p < 0.05) different solubility, OHC, WHC and SI of a sample at different temperatures by Tukey's test. A–CBars with different uppercase letters indicate a significantly (p < 0.05) different solubility, OHC, WHC and SI among samples at the same temperature by Tukey's test.
  2. Data represent means ± respective standard errors (n = 3).
