Fig. 1A displays the correlation loadings plot of the sensory descriptors from the first two significant latent variables (LV) (explaining 64% and 13% of the variation in sensory data, respectively). Fig. 1B shows the distribution of the yoghurts tested. The grouping of the descriptors in Fig. 1A revealed that the first dimension was closely related to texture characteristics of the yoghurts. On the right side, the descriptors Creaminess, Viscosity (both manual and oral), T-body, T-meltdown, T-softness, M-resistance and M-sharpedge were placed. On the left side, the descriptors M-spoonflow, M-ropiness and T-smoothness were located. The second dimension in Fig. 1A covered the variation of the sourness flavour of yoghurts (F-sour) and the chalkiness perception in the mouth (T-flourychalky).
