|--------|-----------|

|4 | |

|5 | |

| 6-9 | |

Please note that the "Overall Acceptability" table does not include specific frequencies or percentages
for ratings 4 and 5, as they were described in ranges in the initial data. Specific percentages for the 6-9
ratings would depend on the actual distribution within that range.

Certainly, I can provide interpretations for the data presented in Chapter 4 of your research paper:
1. **Taste:**

- The data on taste preferences shows that “Salty” is the most preferred taste among respondents,
with 20% of them choosing it. “Crunchy” and “Sweet and sour” are also popular, with 24% and 18%
preferences, respectively.

2. **Crispness:**

- The majority of respondents (60%) prefer snacks with “Thickness.” “Crunchiness” is the second most
preferred crispness factor at 22%.

3. **Appearance:**

- “Dark brown” is the most favored appearance choice, with 52% of respondents preferring it. “Light
brown” is the second most popular at 26%.

4. **Aroma:**

- “Slightly perceptible garlic” and “Very perceptible garlic” aromas are the top two choices, with 26%
and 53% of respondents preferring them, respectively.

5. **Method Preference (Soak Solution vs. Soak Calcium Hydroxide):**

- The majority of respondents (74%) prefer to “Soak Calcium hydroxide solution for 5 hours” over “Soak
Solution overnight,” which is chosen by 50% of the participants.

6. **Drying Method Preference (Direct Sunlight vs. Dryer Machine):**

- A significant majority (68%) opt for the “Dryer machine” for drying snacks, while 56% prefer “Direct
sunlight exposure.”

7. **Overall Acceptability (9-point Hedonic Scale):**

- Detailed percentages for the “Overall Acceptability” rating are not provided, but it’s clear that ratings
in the range of 6 to 9 are important for evaluating the overall acceptability of the snacks.

These interpretations provide a snapshot of the preferences and choices of respondents regarding taste,
crispness, appearance, aroma, and processing methods for the snacks, which is valuable information for
your research paper.
