Means in a row with different letters (a-d) are significantly different (P<0.05).
Means in a column with different letters (A-C) are significantly different (P<0.05).
MLE, ethanolic extract of Moringa stenopetala leaves; TPC, total plate count; YM, yeast and mold; SEM, standard error of the mean.
ND, not determined.
1)Treatments are as indicated in Table 1.
2)ANOVA was not done because the counts were <10 CFU/g across the storage days.
