2.0 mm/s, post-test speed 5.0 mm/s, maximum load 2 kg, head
speed 2.0 mm/s, distance 8.0 mm, force 5 g. Values for hardness
(N), springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess (N), and chewiness (N)
were determined as described by Bourne (1978).
2.12. Statistical analysis
All tests were done at least three times for each experimental
condition and mean values are reported. An analysis of variance
was performed on all the variables using the general linear model
(GLM) procedure of the SAS statistical package (1999). Duncan’s
multiple range test (P < 0.05) was used to determine the differences
among treatments.
