Consumer liking:For hedonic sensory methods, a consumer panel is used. The consumer can be asked about how much they like the different products and how willing they are to buy the products tested.Sensory panel:For assessing product quality, it is common to use a sensory panel consisting of a number of trained assessors which assess the intensity on a predefined scale of a number of relevant sensory attributes.Sensory attribute:The measurements, as performed by the sensory panel, such as sweetness, hardness, and acidity (depending on types of products).Rapid sensory methods:There exist a number of so-called rapid sensory methods, for instance, projective mapping, sorting, and CATA. For the latter all participants are asked to tick, for each product, on the relevant attributes on a predefined list. This gives a table of 0s and 1s for each participant.
