Table 5.

The correlation matrix of the physico-chemical properties of bergamot juice and bergamot cloudy juice which is built on the basis of 48 values for each parameter (4 replicates × 2 harvest years × 3 cultivars). In the south-west section of the matrix is the r-value (above) and the significance level (below) with p < 0.05, *. In the north-east section of the matrix there is the t-value (in italics) with the significance of the t-test calculated at 95% confidence interval and the R2 value (underlined).
