Changes of the quality of palmyrah fruit pulp (pfp) exposed to open-air and the antimicrobial effect of herbal extracts on common microbes in spoiled pfp

Abstract

Palmyrah (Borassus flabellifer L.) Fruit Pulp (PFP) has more health benefits. Spoiled PFP is mainly caused by acid-producing microbes like A. aceti and alcoholproducing microbes like S. cerevisiae. Chemically preserved PFP partially losses its natural characteristics during its storage for a long time.
