2.7. Statistical analysis
A completely randomized experimental design was used with four replications for each treatment. Data were subjected to
analysis of variance (ANOVA) with harvest time, treatment and storage time as sources of variance. Mean comparisons at
P = 0.05 were performed using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. All the statistics were performed with the SPSS
13.0 statistical software package, SPSS, USA.
