Contrary to the initial hypothesis, correlations between attributes
revealed that stronger cocoa flavour intensity is not governed
by a faster perceived in-mouth melting. The timeeintensity study,
performed to further investigate the cocoa flavour perception,
confirmed the results from sensory profiling. Both parameters of
maximum intensity and area under the curve were strongly correlated
with cocoa intensity scores measured in sensory profiling and
thus negatively correlated to perceived in-mouth melting
