Control: no enhanced beef; EBS: the enhanced beef by 0.5% (w/w) sodium chloride; EBW 0.2: the enhanced beef by 0.5% (w/w) sodium chloride and 0.2% (w/w) powder of winter mushroom juice; EBW 0.5: the enhanced beef by 0.5% (w/w) sodium chloride and 0.5% (w/w) powder of winter mushroom juice.
Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences between means (p < 0.05).
Different letters in the same row indicate significant differences between means (p < 0.05).
SEM, standard error of the least square mean.
