TLS and TLS formulation also had a strong inhibitory effect on
microbial parameters (Table 4). After 4 days of storage, the viable cell counts of aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, yeasts, and moulds in juice treated with TLS or TLS formulation were similar to the counts at the beginning. The cell counts of yeasts and
moulds in the control and organic-acid-added group were much higher than those at beginning. The changes in total counts of bacterial colonies and coliform bacteria in the three experimental groups were minimal
