Comprehensive Flavor Profiling of Dairy Products Using Electronic Tongue: Discrimination Based on Processing Parameters and Formulations.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Flavor is a critical determinant of consumer acceptance for dairy products. However, objectively deconvoluting the contributions of multifactor interactions-such as processing conditions, formulations, and raw material properties-remains challenging. This study employed the INSENT TS-5000Z electronic tongue (E-tongue), supplemented by sensory evaluation and chemical analysis, to profile eight fresh milk and six plain yoghurt samples from five leading brands. Key variables included sterilization methods, milk sources, and sugar content. Nine taste indices were quantified. Principal component analysis (PCA) effectively discriminated samples based on these parameters, with cumulative variances of 81.2% for milk and 92.5% for yoghurt. Organic milk (SY-JZ-ORG) exhibited significantly higher bitterness (10.77 ± 0.04 TU) and astringency (4.60 ± 0.02 TU), which correlated with elevated levels of α-linolenic acid, hydrophobic peptides, and the creamy lactone δ-decalactone. Full-sugar yoghurt (MN-Y) showed pronounced astringency (9.38 ± 0.20 TU), consistent with its highest sensory scores for "thickness" and "astringency." Partial least squares regression (PLSR) models reliably predicted sensory attributes from E-tongue data (R
