  1. 1Italic values were different (P < 0.05). Greater values indicate greater preference
  2. 2Preference; Indicates whether panelists preferred pasteurized sample (P) or pasteurized + MST sample
  3. 3Preference; Indicates whether panelists preferred pasteurized sample (P) or MST + pasteurized sample
  4. 4Process temperature (°C) means are of three readings (beginning, middle, and end) of each 30 min total run
  5. 5MST Temp in is approximately the same as pasteurizer temperature out
