Enumerations for total aerobic, anaerobic and lactic acid bacteria counts. Log CFU/g values for total psychrotolerant and psychrophilic aerobic (TAC) and anaerobic counts (TANC) and lactic acid bacteria counts (M17 and MRS agar) found on curry-flavored vegetarian product samples. Each boxplot contains five data points, except in case a sample was below the enumeration limit of 1 log CFU/g, in which case, n will deviate. The boxplots represent the 1st quartile, median and the 3rd quartile of each dataset. Pie charts under the graphs visualize the deviation in data points: countable samples are represented by white and samples below the enumeration limit are represented by black. Boxplots within a graph, indicated by the same letter signify no significant differences between the results
