Retain both reported results. The data support hypothesis development, not proof that adding a benzaldehyde-rich ingredient improves a finished commercial blend. Maturation and consumer preference were not tested.
The direct corn-benzaldehyde/favorable-aroma relationship is nonsignificant across all samples (R=0.2837); excluding one observation gives R=0.362, p=0.0536, n=29. This meets the authors' exploratory 10% threshold, not 5%.
