Microbial assessment of A. floribunda butter.

Organism	Hot water	Hexane	Cold press	Control
^∗Total aerobic count (cfu/ml)	1.2 × 10^2	5.6 × 10^2	1.05 × 10^3	No growth
^∗Mold and yeast (cfu/ml)	3.0 × 10^1	2.52 × 10^2	2.92 × 10^3	No growth
E. coli	None detected	None detected	None detected	No growth
P. aeruginosa	None detected	None detected	None detected	No growth
S. aureus	None detected	None detected	None detected	No growth
S. typhi	None detected	None detected	None detected	No growth

BP 2020 specification for the total aerobic count is 1.0 × 10⁵ cfu/ml and that for mold and yeast is 1.0 × 10⁴ cfu/ml [16].
