The process of sensory evaluation involves several steps:
Sample Preparation: Food samples must be prepared and presented in a consistent manner to ensure reliable results. Panel Selection: Depending on the test type, either trained or consumer panels are selected. Test Environment: Tests are conducted in controlled environments to minimize external influences. Factors such as lighting, temperature, and noise are carefully controlled. Data Collection: Panelists provide their responses using structured questionnaires or scales. Data Analysis: The collected data is analyzed using statistical methods to draw meaningful conclusions.
