Each straw at each time point was evaluated for mass loss in triplicate (Table ). Mass loss was calculated as the relative mass loss (%) being the difference between the initial mass of the sample (𝑚 0 ) and the mass of the sample (𝑚 𝑡 ) at the time point (𝑡) normalized to the initial mass of the sample (Equation ). The relative mass loss (%) of each replicate at each time point for each straw is included in Table .
