ORGANIC vs COVENTIONAL

Organic vs conventional chemical composition of a pear

According to CARBONARO, MATTERA, NICOLI, et al. (2002) They explain in the abstract that there are statisticaly significant differences between the organic and conventional chemical composition of a pear.

They explain us that the organic pear had higher levels of chlorogenic acid content compared to the conventional ones, in organic conditions it's 3020.7 ± 235.4 unit min-1/100 g f.w and in conventional conditions 959.1 ± 100.9 unit min-1/100 g f.w and the authors said that de P value with t test is P < 0.001 and I've calculated it again knowing that N = 3 and my P value with t student equals 0.0002.

They explain us that that there are statisticaly significant differences between the levels of total polyphenols content compared to the conventional ones, in organic conditions it's 64.5 ± 1.5 mg tannic acid/100 g f.w. and in conventional conditions 58.4 ± 2.0 mg tannic acid/100 g f.w. and the authors said that de P value with t test is P < 0.05 and I've calculated it again knowing that N = 3 and my P value with t student equals 0.0134

They explain us that that there are statisticaly significant differences between the levels of α-TH content compared to the conventional ones, in organic conditions it's 0.71 ± 0.05 µg/100 g f.w and in conventional conditions 0.58 ± 0.03 µg/100 g f.w and the authors said that de P value with t test is P < 0.05 and I've calculated it again knowing that N = 3 and my P value with t student equals 0.0181

I've calculated the student T test using the previous data in the website Graphpad Students T test online.
