| Organic acids (g/L) | Fermentation period (day) |
| 0 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12 |
| Citric acid | 1.94±0.231)c2) | 3.10±0.08b | 3.60±0.03a | 3.52±0.02a | 3.56±0.03a |
| Malic acid | 2.22±0.06a | 1.46±0.02c | 1.55±0.02b | 1.48±0.02c | 1.49±0.03bc |
| Succinic acid | 1.26±0.05d | 2.08±0.03c | 2.31±0.04a | 2.22±0.06b | 2.24±0.05ab |
| Lactic acid | 4.65±0.03c | 4.47±0.07d | 5.01±0.09a | 4.85±0.11b | 4.79±0.11bc |
| Acetic acid | 0.15±0.00c | 0.22±0.00a | 0.22±0.02a | 0.21±0.00ab | 0.20±0.01b |
| Total | 10.21 | 11.33 | 12.69 | 12.28 | 12.28 |
All values are mean±SD (n=3).
Means with different superscript letters in the same row are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test (a>b>c>d).
