E-modules/knowledge clips week 4

Question 1

sensory spectrum method

Answer 1

based on texture profile, but now on all modalities
- elaborate, standardized attributes & scales
- high involvement of panel leader
- standard references, intensity equally

limits:
- time consuming
- high degree of panelist training

Question 2

rapid sensory profiling methods, VERBAL based

Answer 2

1. flash profile
   - generate own attributes, rank all atributes on 1 line, on intensity
   - based on ranking (ordinal data)
   - advantage: repititation for every attribute
   - disadvantage: different interpreation
2. check all that applies
   - prepared list of attributes
   - every product: tick attributes that apply

Question 3

rapid sensory profiling methods, SIMILARITY based

Answer 3

1. sorting
   - group products together with similarities
   - label is optional
2. napping
   - place products on napkin according to differences/similarites
   - data: x an dy coordinates
   - ultra flash profile: add terms

limits:
- no training –> closely grouped together
- not very accurate, just quick screening
