Table 3.
Surface tension of aqueous dispersions of untreated and delipidified cocoa material.
Type of cocoa material | Surface tension (mN.m−1) |
---|---|
CP-l | 47.82 ± 0.13c |
delipidified CP-l | 48.84 ± 0.00c |
CP-m | 44.43 ± 0.73b |
delipidified CP-m | 50.35 ± 0.66c |
CP-h | 40.78 ± 0.59a |
delipidified CP-h | 50.05 ± 0.91c |
CF | 37.99 ± 0.87a |
delipidified CF | 48.34 ± 2.59c |
CP-l, m and h indicate the low, medium and high lipid content of the original cocoa powders respectively. Mean surface tension values after 600 s of measurement at 20°C are presented. The different letters represent a significant difference (p < 0.05).
