Comparison of texture measurements between two feeding model C. idellus.
| Group | Hardness | Adhesiveness | Springiness | Cohesiveness | Gumminess | Chewiness | Resilience | Shear force |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grass feed | 5318.43 ± 22.76 | −11.69 ± 0.37** | 0.54 ± 0.02* | 0.26 ± 0.00** | 1405.40 ± 68.16** | 755.11 ± 27.18** | 0.16 ± 0.00** | 503.11 ± 3.89** |
| Artificial feed | 5294.80 ± 54.59 | −25.92 ± 2.20 | 0.60 ± 0.00 | 0.29 ± 0.00 | 1520.71 ± 75.16 | 909.20 ± 43.56 | 0.13 ± 0.00 | 360.62 ± 1.96 |
The data of measured traits were expressed by mean ± SE;
difference between the two experimental groups is significant at the 0.01 level;
difference is significant at the 0.05 level.
