Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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?

  • 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)
  • The olfactory system is not involved in the sensory evaluation of food products
