Table 1 Comparison of statistically significant changes between treatment groups for peptides, proteins by peptide count and proteins by total peptide abundance. Column 2: Number of peptides significantly different (p < 0.05) in abundance in treatment groups. Column 3: Number of proteins significantly different (p < 0.05) in unique peptide count between treatment groups. Column 4: Number of proteins significantly different (p < 0.05) in peptide abundance between treatment groups. The raw milk group, RM; the kefir group, K; the heat-treated milk groups with opened vials during incubation, HMo, and with closed vials during incubation, HMc.
