Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in caloric value, sugar content, LAB viability, and antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus in lactic acid fermented sour cherry beverages over 28 days of storage at 7‐day intervals.

Article Snippet: Antibacterial activity was observed only in SCN9‐Mix and control samples against Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778, while cytotoxicity assays indicated modest inhibitory effects toward MCF‐7 breast cancer cells, with cell viability ranging from 87.64% to 94.45% in freshly prepared samples and decreasing over 28 days.
