  1. Note: VG (mm3) and VC (mm3) respectively represented the volume of grain and chalkiness detected by 3D method. CD-3D (%) and CD-2D (%) respectively represented the chalkiness degree detected by 3D method and 2D method. ** represented that the difference was extremely significant. NS represented “not significant”
