Table 4 Viscosity comparison between gum-based thickeners at a 50 s− 1 shear rate in different concentrations

From: Institutionalized elderly are able to detect small viscosity variations in thickened water with gum-based thickeners: should texture classifications be reviewed?

  1. Viscosity was presented in mean (Standard Deviation)
  2. The manufacturer’s recommendations for obtaining the different textures are shown in blue for nectar, green for honey, the red for pudding
  3. In bold: Higher viscosity values obtained between the different concentrations of NC and RC thickeners
  4. In italics: Average differences
  5. Significance level: ap < 0.05, bp < 0.01, cp < 0.001 and dp < 0.0001
