The effects of the incorporation of an anti-yeast effective dose of MSEO on some physicochemical and sensory characteristics of juices were evaluated. The incorporation of 3.75 μL/mL MSEO or 15 μL/mL MVEO caused a ≥5-log reductions in counts of <i>C. albicans, P. anomala</i>, and <i>S. cerevisiae</i> in Sabouraud dextrose broth.
