Q

what is the criteria when selecting alternative sweeteners

A

1) cariogenecity
2) sweetness equivalent (and not have an aftertaste)
3) solubility and viscocity (should be soluble)
4) hygroscopicity ( this can reduce the shelf life)
5) heat of solution (when there is a cooling seensation in the cheeks)
6) laxative effect
7) cost

Q

Aspartate
- is it sweeter than sucralose?
- does it have aftertaste?
- can it cause health effects

A

it is sweeter
has an aftertaste
cause health effects

27
Q

Acesulfame K
- is it sweeter than sucralose?
- does it have aftertaste?
- can it cause health effects

A

sweeter
dont have an afteratse
thermical and does not cause health effects because it breaks down phenyl alanine that it is not good for your health

28
Q

sucralose
- is it heat stable?
- does it have aftertaste?

A

it is heat stable and dont have an aftertaste

29
Q

alitame or aclame

- it is heat stable?
- can it cause health effects

A

it is sweeter
it is heat stable
it does not cause health issues

Q

what are the 2 methods of sensory evaluation

A

preference testing
difference testing

56
Q

explain in the preference testing

  • paired compaison test
  • hedonic scale
  • ranking test
A
  • paired compaison test:
    select 1 out of 2 samples in terms of a particular attribute
  • hedonic scale
    use a scale from 1-9
  • ranking test
    2 or more samples and you need to rank them in order of preference with respect to a particular attribute
57
Q

difference testing
- simple paired comparison
- scheffé paired comparison
- multiple comparison test
- triangle test
- duo-trio test
- ranking test

A
  • simple paired comparison
    2 samples and need to choose identify the difference
  • scheffé paired comparison
    identify the difference and quality of the sample
  • multiple comparison test
    compared the samples with each other
  • triangle test
    3 samples and you pick the odd one
  • duo-trio test
    3 samples and you need to find the one similar to the reference
  • ranking test
    rank in order
58
Q

what are the 7 primary ordors

A

ethereal, musky, camphoraceous, floral, minty, pungent, putrid
