*3.1. Overall Liking of Yogurt Products*

The mean overall liking scores for yogurt products for both Asian and Western participants were higher for the crunchy yogurt and lower for the berry yogurt (Table 1). The liking for the other four yogurt types was in between these two products, with the drinkable yogurt showing a higher liking by Asian consumers compared to the reference yogurt, and the coconut yogurt showing a lower liking compared to the drinkable and soy yogurts. In contrast, Western consumers rated these three samples (soy, drinkable and reference) similarly, with coconut having a lower liking. The interaction of products and culture was not significant (*p* > 0.05); hence, the differences between yogurt samples could not be observed across the two cultures.
