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).
