  1. HTT temperature presented as °C. Numbers are presented as weight percentages of DM in the HTT solid fraction, followed by standard deviations (a,b,c,d). Different superscript letters a,b,c,d indicate significantly different values (P <0.05) row-wise). DM, dry matter; HTT, hydrothermal treatment.
