3.7. Sensorial evaluation
No significant difference in the acceptance level was found between fries submerged in different antioxidant extracts and untreated (P > 0.05).
Although, tested extracts are strong spices.
The range of the values obtained for the fried potatoes treatment and untreated with the extracts was in the categories of “I like it slightly” (6 points) and “I like it moderately” (7 points) on the hedonic scale, indicating that the fried potatoes impregnated with the different natural extracts (green tea, bougainvillea, thyme, cinnamon and oregano) were similar accepted compared to control (Fig. 7).
It is possibly due to the short time of immersion in the antioxidant extracts.
