Windhab replies: Saliva does interact with the chocolate during consumption. That interaction affects not only the flavor of the chocolate but also its flow properties. However, the effects are taken into account in the article’s conclusions that refer to sensory properties. Consumers’ strongly differing saliva productions during chocolate consumption could make sensory testing results inconsistent, but we did not see such differences among our test participants.
