ranging from 1542%. In general, the percentage response
of acidic note showed a positive trend with
acidity (decrease in pH and increase in titratable acidity)
and an inverse relationship to strong chocolate
flavour. This can be observed in samples from the
Dominican Republic in which Hispaniola had significantly
lower pH and higher titratable acidity than
Sanchez; consequently, the former was perceived acidic
and had a high response of strong chocolate flavour
whereas the latter was perceived non-acidic and lacking
