Study Notes

Designing Sensory Test Rooms for Analysis

Sensory analysis can be affected by various people-related issues such as mood, illness, hunger, and psychological errors.
Environmental issues such as noise, temperature, lighting, and odors can impact the accuracy of sensory analysis.
ISO standards provide guidance for designing test rooms to eliminate environmental effects.
Test rooms should have controlled conditions, minimal distractions, and areas for preparation, testing, and discussion.
Ideal temperature and relative humidity for test rooms are 20-22°C and 50-55% respectively.
Test rooms should have neutral decoration, uniform lighting, and odor-free air conditioning with activated carbon filters.
Testing booths should be designed with specific dimensions, numbered, and equipped with communication systems.
Group work areas are essential for discussion, training, and debriefing sessions.
A well-equipped preparation area is necessary for sample handling, storage, and washing facilities.
Test protocol considerations include balanced randomization, coded samples, and considering the effects of sample characteristics on product evaluation.
Sensory test methods include objective and subjective tests, such as discrimination tests and hedonic/consumer tests.
Different test methods provide data on differences, degree of liking, and acceptability of products.
