Mulberry vinegar through yeast and acetic acid bacteria fermentation.
Control does not inoculated the strain (mulberry juice).
Values are mean±SD (n=3).
Different capital letters (A, B, C, D) in the same row indicate a significant difference according to Duncan’s multiple test (p<0.05).
Significant differences were compared with the control at *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001 in the same row by Levene’s t-test.
