This study used combination of two treatment factors i.e. formulation (P) and withering duration (H). The treatment uses the formulation P0 (100% lotus leaves), P1 (70% lotus leaves: 30% lotus flowers), P2 (40% lotus leaves: 60% lotus flowers) as well as for the long withering treatment, namely H1 (8 hours withering time) and H2 (without withering).
