| First cut | 93.9a A | 31.2b A | 11.1c A | 3.12 |
| Second cut | 95.3a A | 26.9b B | 9.6c A | |
Different letters (a, b) among incubation times within each cut differ at P < 0.001.
Different letters (A, B) between cuts within incubation times differ at P < 0.001.
Qualitative changes of the polypeptide profile during incubation (Cultivar 9, first cut). The figure shows only one cultivar, as the differences among the tested cultivars were small.
