Fungal Variation during Peanut Paste Storage

Table 2

Evolution of the mould load of peanut paste samples during storage according to the method of moulding.

Moulding method	Peanut paste mould load (cfu/g)
	First day	1 month	2 months	3 months
Domestic moulding	—	4.6 ± 1.3.10^1ba	3.2 ± 0.4.10^2cb	6.4 ± 0.3.10^2db
Artisan moulding	91^ab	1.8 ± 1.7.10^2bc	5.9 ± 0.2.10^2c	9.6 ± 0.1.10^2dc
Hygienic moulding	—	9.1 ± 1.7.10^1b	2.7 ± 0.5.10^2ca	4.6 ± 0.1.10^2da

The values assigned to the same letter are not significantly different at the 5% threshold according to Duncan’s test.
