Evaluation of the validity of temporal sensory evaluation methods carried out by consumers on controlled stimuli delivered by a gustometer

2023

Temporal sensory evaluation is increasingly used with consumers. However, very few studies have investigated the repeatability and resolution of the methods used. Thus, this study aimed to fill in the gap by comparing the conclusions drawn from data collected using three temporal sensory methods performed with consumers on time model solutions delivered using a gustometer. One hundred and fifty consumers were recruited. After familiarization and a recognition task, they were divided into 3 panels, each using a different method to describe their temporal perception: Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS), Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA), and Attack-Evolution-Finish (AEF). Fourteen solu…
