No problems with cohesiveness, increased hardness or unpleasant taste were perceived in the experimental samples. More significant differences were perceived in terms of color intensity. Hedonic ratings for taste, aroma and texture were within narrow ranges and in all cases reached values corresponding to a rather positive evaluation.
