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 letter within a column are significantly different (); u-y values with different letter within a row are significantly different ).
