Table 2. Changes in lactic acid bacteria counts of a yogurt drink (FM-A) throughout the shelf life
(unit: CFU/mL)

Sample	Medium	Day 0	Day 7	Day 14	Evaluation
FM-A	TOS-MUP agar	(1.20 ± 0.08) × 10^7a	(7.80 ± 0.05) × 10^6b	(5.30 ± 0.11) × 10^6b	Met internal quality criterion (≥ 1.0 × 10⁶ CFU/mL)

Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).
Differences among sampling points were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
Values with different superscript letters within the same row indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
CFU/mL, colony-forming units per millilitre; TOS-MUP, tryptose–sulfite–cycloserine agar supplemented with 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate; one-way ANOVA, one-way analysis of variance.
