The inclusion of NFE, however, led to lower ratings for texture
(Pb0.05) for TRTs 2, 3, and 4 when compared to C (Table 5). Instrumental
texture results support the consumer sensory findings; however,
small numeric ranges between some TRTs might question if
they are practical differences. Finally, internal color was also affected
by the addition of NFE, as all TRTs containing NFE were rated darker
(Pb0.05) compared to C; and as NFE content increased, darker color
ratings also increased. Consumer sensory results for internal color
are in agreement with results from objective color testing, as internal
L* values also indicated that the addition of NFE resulted in darker
product colors.
