The first two dimensions of the correspondence analysis explained 88.5% of the inertia of the experimental data. As shown in Fig. 2 samples were sorted along the first dimension according to their sugar content. Samples formulated with 8.0% sucrose (3, 4, 7 and 8) were located at negative values of the first dimension, being described with the terms sweet, vanilla flavor and smooth. Samples formulated with 4.0% sucrose were located at positive values of the first dimension and were mainly characterized by their off-flavor and sourness. These samples were sorted into two groups. Samples 1 and 5, formulated without a stabilizer, were described as thick and consistent ( Fig. 2), whereas samples containing 0.075% of stabilizer (samples 2 and 6) were described as rough, heterogeneous, and liquid.
