What is the primary purpose of sensory evaluation in the context of food products?
- To measure the physiological responses of the panelists to the product
- To evaluate the color, taste, aroma, flavor, and texture of the product
- To assess the overall quality and acceptability of the product among consumers (correct)
- To train a panel of experts to provide feedback on the product
What is the key difference between a trained/semi-trained panel and a consumer test in sensory evaluation?
What is the key difference between a trained/semi-trained panel and a consumer test in sensory evaluation?
- Trained/semi-trained panels use a larger number of panelists, while consumer tests use a smaller number
- Trained/semi-trained panels focus on measuring physiological responses, while consumer tests focus on acceptability
- Trained/semi-trained panels are used for quality control, while consumer tests are used for product development
- Trained/semi-trained panels are conducted in-house, while consumer tests are done with the general public (correct)
What is the role of the olfactory system in sensory evaluation of food products?
What is the role of the olfactory system in sensory evaluation of food products?
- The olfactory system is used to train panelists to identify specific aromas and flavors
- The olfactory system is responsible for transmitting electrical messages to the brain about the taste of the food
- The olfactory system provides the primary cues for the acceptability of a food before it enters the mouth (correct)
