  1. Data are the mean and range (parentheses). Capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin data are expressed as mg/100 g dry weight. Fructose and glucose data are expressed as g/100 g dry weight
  2. NS not significant
  3. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. The means in the same column followed by the same letter(s) are not significantly different at (p < 0.05) by least significant difference
