Table 2

Comparison of the microbial content of baobab products based on region.

Product	Source	Region	log10 CFU/g Tac	log10 CFU/g	log10 CFU/g Y+M
Baobab pulp	Formal	Nrb	^b	^a	^b
		Msa	^b	^a	^a
	Informal	Msa	^b	^a	^b
		Kilifi	^a	^b	^b
Baobab candies	Informal	Nrb	^b	^a	^a
		Msa	^a	^a	^ab
		Kilifi	^b	^a	^b

Key: SD: standard deviation; Tac: total aerobic count; : Enterobacteriaceae; Y+M: yeast and molds; Nrb: Nairobi; Msa: Mombasa. Values are means of two duplicate replicates, and those with the same superscript along the column for each baobab products are not significantly different by Bonferroni test ().
