Sensory evaluation
A total of 93 panelists over the age of 18 years in good health and nonsmokers participated in the study. Data from the sensory evaluation demonstrated significant differences(P< 0.05) in the degree of liking for flavor, color, and overall acceptability while no significant difference(P 0.05) in odor among treatments(Table 4).
Variations in sensory scores existed among eggs from the different diet treatments.
However, preference scores for none of the sensory attributes fell in the dislike range(0 to 100) of the LHS(Figure 4).
The color, flavor, odor, and overall acceptability scores for the eggs from the hens fed with the 30% chia diet showed no significant differences compared to those from the control.
It is an indication that the acceptability had not been affected by the y There was a clear indication that the level of flaxseed and chia supplementation affected the degree of liking of the eggs.
The score for flavor of the scrambled eggs from the 30% flaxseed diet(116.8) and the 40% chia diet(124.8 were significantly lower 0.05) than the control(143.9).
This is in agreement with earlier studies by caston and others (1994) and Scheideler and
