      Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05). Lowercase letters represent immunoreactivity and percentage reduction in immunoreactivity for germination. Uppercase letters represent combinations of germination and ultrasound treatment. The values given in [ ] are the log reduction in immunoreactivity of samples. Sample notation: G(x)DUS(y)C(z); x is the germination duration in h, y is the ultrasound treatment time (min) and z is the cooking time (min).
