Treatment: CTL, LFMS; REF, LFMS treated with 1.0% soy protein isolate; SFP, LFMS treated with 1.0% freeze-dried RNP; SOP, LFMS treated with 1.0% oven-dried RNP; SPE, LFMS treated with 1.0% RNP protein extract.
Means values with different superscripts differ according to the various drying methods applied to obtain RNP and RNP protein extract (p<0.05).
