2.10. Statistical analysis
The experiment was conducted in a factorial CRD considering two factors (treatment and storage period) with six treatments and three replications. The data recorded from each treatment during storage were subjected to analysis of variance, with treatment and storage time as sources of variation. Mean comparison among treatments were performed using Duncan’s multiple range test ata significance level of P ≤ 0.05. All analyses were performed using the SAS statistical system 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).
