WW: wet weight basis.
DW: dry weight basis.
Energy conversion factor is protein 2.44, carbohydrate 3.57 and fat 8.37 according to FAO/WHO energy conversion values.
CHO=100-(moisture+crude protein+crude lipid+ash).
All values are the mean SD of triplicate determinations. Values with different superscripts within the same row (a-d) are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests.
