  1. Each mean represents 6 observations except gluten with an enzyme addition (5 observations)
  2. SEM standard error of the means
  3. aThe enzyme complex was added at 1.0 %. The enzyme complex consisted of β-pentosanase, β-glucanase, α-amylase and protease (6000 EPU/g, 32,000, 17,600 and 142 EU/g, respectively)
