Table 4

Tabulation of 𝑃 value for the resulting effects. As the additive concentration of the high treatment is 10 times that of low treatment for BA and MSG, BA refers to L BA additive, while 10BA refers to H BA additive. The resulting effects represent the difference in the treatments. For example, MSG is the difference between L MSG and L SALT.
