CG, control group; BB, before boiling; AB, after boiling; 1, the ratio of wort to coffee is 1:1; 2, the ratio of wort to coffee is 1:2; 3, the ratio of wort to coffee is 2:1.
All values are mean±SD (n=3). Different letters [lowercase (a-f) in a row, uppercase (A-F) in a column] indicate significant differences (p<0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test.
