    Texture variability of the 4 brands of Chihuahua cheese made with raw milk (RM-1 and RM-2) or pasteurized milk (PM-1 and PM-2) and tested at 3 different times of the year (late summer, ls; winter, w; and spring, sp). Vectors represent the following texture descriptors: HFm, hand firmness; HSp, hand springiness; HRc, hand rate of recovery; FFm, first-bite firmness; FFr, first-bite fracturability; CBr, chewdown degree of breakdown; CCo, chewdown cohesiveness; CAd, chewdown adhesiveness; CSm, chewdown smoothness; and RSm, residual smoothness of mouth coating. PC1, first principal component; PC2, second principal component.
