N.S.

  1. Effects were studied using a mixed model with repeated measures (stage) with one factorial fixed factor (cocoa product). Where there was a significant main effect, post hoc Bonferroni tests were also used to analyse differences between means.
  2. a,bMean values within a column with unlike superscript were significantly different according to Bonferroni test.
