2.4. Statistical analyses
The training of the panel of assessors was validated for each
descriptive term analyzed, applying the analysis of variance (ANOVA)
to determine discriminative ability (p b 0.50), repeatability (p N 0.05)
and consensus between the judges (Damasio & Costell, 1991).
The data obtained in the physicochemical analyses, QDA and
acceptance test were also analyzed by ANOVA. For both analyses,
when a significant difference (p b 0.05) was detected in some variable,
Tukey's means test was applied to evaluate the difference between the
samples. The results were analyzed with the aid of the software SAS
System forWindows (Statistical Analysis System) (2008).
