3.6.2. Total assay acceptability
Results of the acceptability test are shown in Fig. 5. In the case of commercial chocolate milk with SPC and vitamins, it did not show changes in the acceptability with respect to the commercial product without liposomes. This result was maintained with or without knowledge of what was being evaluated. This result agrees with the triangular test which showed that commercial chocolate milk with this liposomal formulation did not provide sensory changes with respect to the commercial milk without liposomes.
In chocolate milk with SPC:SA and vitamins, although there were significant differences presented in the triangular test, in this evaluation it was found that this difference could modify acceptability.Thus, commercial milk with this liposomal formulation had significantly lower acceptability with respect to the commercial milk without liposomes, when the panelists did not know what was evaluating. Although it should be noted that milk with a nutritional promise seems to generate a positive effect based on the fact that when the evaluators knew what they were judging, there were no significant differences in milk samples with or without liposomes.
