3.7. Perceived intensity of sensory attributes among soy donuts
The appearance intensities obtained by the sensory test of the
soy donuts are shown in Fig. 3A. All parameters related to donut
appearance, such as surface color, surface texture, surface shine,
and surface oiliness, resulted in a significant difference depending
on HPMC addition and the method of adding HPMC (p < 0.05).
HPMC addition resulted in lower intensity scores for perceived
surface color (more yellow) and surface texture (less smooth),
while surface shine and surface oiliness scored higher showing that
they had more shine and gloss. The panelists perceived different
intensities of surface texture and shininess in soy donuts with
HPMC addition (p < 0.05). SHC had the highest surface shiny score
and appeared to be the oiliest, while S had the lowest surface shiny
