Ratings were assessed by visual analog scales and ranged from 0 to 100 mm. Both ratings differed significantly across food items according to a mixed model with repeated measures (P<0.0001). Means for the same rating with different superscripts were significantly different (P<0.05, adjusted for multiple comparisons by Tukey-Kramer method). There were no significant differences between trained participants and controls for these ratings.
