In the case of flavor scores, the majority of the samples (88.2%)
were placed between 3.26 and 4.50 mean scores (corresponding to
a quality from medium to very high) and the maximum frequency
was in 3.76–4.00 interval (high quality) with 25.2% of the samples.
Scale use ranged from 1.81 (a sample clearly defective) to 4.57.
For persistence, the scale ranged from 2.38 to 4.29. The majority of
the samples (94.4%) were scored between 2.76 and 4.25, corresponding
to a range from medium to high quality, with the 3.26–3.50 range
having the highest number of samples (26.0%). These scores indicate
that there were almost no samples with defective flavor in persistence
or samples with long aroma duration (10 s or more). The lack
of defective characteristics for persistence agrees with the lack of
defects observed for flavor.
