*3.9. Statistical Analysis*

Statistical analysis of all data was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The analysis of chemical composition and functional properties were performed in duplicate and in triplicate, respectively. Duncan's range test was used to determine the differences among samples with a probability level of 0.05. Statistical analysis and standard deviations were determined using Statistica v. 13.3 software (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA).
