Explanation notes: the analyzed fermented products are described by the designations: the name of the additive introduced in the milk (α-la_ refers to products containing addition of α-lactalbumin; CGMP_ refers to products containing addition of caseinoglycomacropeptide) followed by the name of the L. helveticus strain that was used in fermentation; the results are given as the (). The post hoc test did not reveal any statistical differences among analyzed fermented products in terms of the tested texture parameter (values in the same column) at 0.05 level.
