  1. Data are mean ± SD (expressed as a gram of gallic acid equivalent per liter of kombucha solution, g GAE/L);
  2. Values with the different capital letters within a column are significantly different at p < 0.05, while the values with the different lowercase letters within a row are significantly different at p < 0.05 based on LSD analysis.
