T o = 100% strawberry juice; T1 = 95% strawberry juice +05% Moringa extract; T2 = 90% strawberry juice +10% Moringa extract; T3 = 85% strawberry juice +15% Moringa extract; The values are mean ± SD of three independent determinations. Means carrying different letters in a column differed significantly (); a-e values with different letters within a column are significantly different (); u-y values with different letter within a row are significantly different ().
