Breads were evaluated on the basis of acceptance of their
appearance, flavour, taste, flavour persistency, texture, and overall
acceptability on a nine-point hedonic scale. The scale of values
ranged from a high score of 9, “like extremely”, to a low score of 1,
“dislike extremely”. Samples were analysed one day after baking.
They were presented as half-pieces for appearance and 2 cm slices
for flavour, taste, flavour persistency, texture, and overall acceptability.
The slices were served in random order on white plastic
dishes coded with random, four-digit numbers. Control bread and
breads with 10 g of chia seed, pre-hydrated chia seed, chia flour or
pre-hydrated chia flour/100 g wheat flour were analysed. All breads
were analysed in the same session.Water was available for rinsing.
