An analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) was performed to
evaluate any significant differences in the survival of LAB cultures
obtained with the different sub-lethal stresses applied and the
different storage conditions taking into account temperatures, aw
and light. Also any significant effects between slow and quick
gastric transit simulations and digestions, both with and without
sub-lethal stresses, on the survival of LAB in simulated GI tract were
tested. Multiple comparisons were evaluated by Tukey's post-hoc
test. All calculations were carried out using the software Kaleida-
Graph (version 4.4, Synergy Software, Reading, USA
