Values are mean ± SD (n = 80). Different uppercase superscripts in the same column within the same sodium bicarbonate level indicate significance difference (P < 0.05). Different lowercase superscripts in the same column indicate significance difference among all gel samples (P < 0.05). The 9-point hedonic scale used, where 1, extremely dislike; 2, very much dislike; 3, moderately dislike; 4, slightly dislike; 5, neither like nor dislike; 6, slightly like; 7, moderately like; 8, very much like; 9, extremely like.
