    Study Notes

    Objective Evaluation in Food Testing

    • Objective evaluations measure specific, observable characteristics of food, such as size, shape, weight, volume, density, moisture, texture, and viscosity.
    • Both sensory (subjective) and objective (scientific) evaluations are critical for comprehensive food assessment.
    • Objective methods utilize laboratory instruments to produce reliable results, minimizing human bias.

    Types of Objective Tests

    • Objective evaluation encompasses two primary categories: physical and chemical assessments.
    • Physical tests measure tangible properties such as:
      • Size and shape
      • Weight
      • Volume
      • Density
    • Chemical tests focus on:
      • Identifying the presence of harmful microbes, including bacteria, yeast, and mold for food safety.
      • Establishing quality control standards.
      • Analyzing the chemical composition of food products.

    Importance of Objective Evaluation

    • Ensures food quality and safety by identifying harmful components and ensuring compliance with standards.
    • Provides data necessary for quality assurance in food production, leading to improved consumer trust.
