Mulberry vinegar was fermented after adding 5% alcohol to mulberry juice.
All acetic acid bacteria strains are Acetobacter pasteurianus.
Control does not inoculated the strain (mulberry juice).
Values are mean±SD (n=3).
Different small letters (a, b, c, etc.) in the same column indicate a significant difference according to Duncan’s multiple test (p<0.05).
Significant differences were compared with the ‘before fermentation’ at *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001 in the same row by Levene’ t-test.
