Sensory Evaluation of Sausage Consumers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fifteen subjects were recruited among regular eaters of sausages (defined as consuming the product at least once a week). Ten panelists were selected (four males and six females, between 29 and 61 yr. of age) in accordance with ISO standards [26 ]. For this purpose, the four basic tastes were used [27 (link)]. For this purpose, sucrose (Carlo Erba, Milan, Italy), sodium chloride (Carlo Erba, Milan, Italy), citric acid (Carlo Erba, Milan, Italy) and quinine hydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) at three levels each were used [27 (link)]. The panelists were informed about the taste of each basic concentration. Then, a 10 mL quantity of high and low concentration for each taste solution was served blind. The panelists rinsed their mouths with filtered, de-ionized water between tests. De-ionized water was also used to prepare two blanks. Totaling ten samples (taste solutions and blanks) were presented in random order. The panelists had to identify the intensity (low and high) of each taste solution. The inability to recognize eight out of the 10 taste solutions was used as cutoff point for selection purposes [27 (link)]. Afterwards, panelists were trained for the scale use [28 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
